WIF-PDX’s Educate & Incubate program is designed to help folks with historically marginalized access to the film industry (BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, women, people experiencing poverty) get their projects made and support career advancement in the film, media, and entertainment industry. Our goal is to help storytellers bring their work to fruition, ultimately diversifying our culture’s media. This diversification of stories is at the heart of WIF-PDX’s mission and belief that we will only see clearly when everyone is allowed to offer their point of view. Through our program, Educate/Incubate, we will help local narrative and documentary filmmakers make meaningful connections with professionals, learn new skills and create accountability with each other.

EDUCATE will teach workshops in filmmaking subjects such as: Directing Actors, How to Work with a Cinematographer, How to Find Your Post-Production Team, Festival Planning and Distribution, Fundraising, etc. Visiting and local filmmakers will lead these workshops which will be open to the public and WIF members to attend.

INCUBATE creates cohorts of 4 or 5 local, early to mid-career female and nonbinary filmmakers that will be selected and grouped together through an application process. They will have a particular project they want to bring to fruition, which will take them to the next stage of their career. In addition to being in all of the larger EDUCATE seminars, the smaller INCUBATE group will meet regularly throughout the year with our mentors and guest speakers. The goal is for cohorts to help each other move their projects forward through the program workshops and connecting with each other and the larger filmmaking community. Up to 12 participants will be selected by a panel of WIF-PDX Board Members.

The program runs 9 months beginning in October 2025 through June 2026 culminating in public screening of works-in-progress or trailers for their projects.

Thank you Regional Arts & Culture Council for helping make this program possible!
