The WiM CrewList started as a simple open source Google Sheet for those in a position to hire to find women for their crews. In a matter of months, the spreadsheet featured thousands of women, in 26 departments, all over the world. The crew list made it impossible to say there were no qualified women to hire. In 2017, we launched the CrewList database as our key membership perk, and thousands of women continue to get hired, above and below the line. The HireTheseWomen initiative includes networking events that bring qualified members and people in positions to hire in the industry into the same room. Another core program is the CAMERAderie Initiative, a narrative film contest where writer/directors receive mentoring in the development process towards completing a film project. Finalists receive comprehensive production support, including some funding, from both high level mentors and our industry partners and sponsors to realize their projects. The Cycle includes multiple two day long conferences filled with panels, seminars and workshops covering all aspects of film production from script development through to distribution. DocTalk is a program supporting documentary filmmakers. In our Writers Group program, we support groups that meet regularly for feedback. Our ParityInAction initiative encourages hiring entities to bring gender balance to their projects, with the Parity In Action Pledge and badge. We hold additional in-person and virtual networking events throughout the year including the Annual Holiday Toast, honoring remarkable filmmakers. Working with sponsors, we facilitate training workshops, including those leading to WiM Certifications, in technical fields in filmmaking, to help build a path to Union membership. We give the Altitude Awards for outstanding Camera Department workers. We have provided completion grants to emerging filmmakers. We advocate at industry events and in the media for gender balance in all positions across the industry.
