With support from the California Arts Council, Look What SHE Did! will create and share short films about inspiring women from history and today.

Organization Summary

Founded in 2014, Look What SHE Did! (LWSD!) produces and maintains a growing catalogue of films that celebrate stories of female achievement. Featuring heroic trailblazers whose accomplishments have been eclipsed or omitted from the historical record, each film engages a storyteller, director, camera operator, editor, and sound engineer. Currently the LWSD! archive features 150 films organized into thematic categories including education, law and government, environment, the arts, sports, leadership and other areas, with an emphasis on historically marginalized women. LWSD!’s monthly subscriber base has grown to 75,000. The films are widely available for viewing on LWSD!’s website, social media, and through organizational, media, and educational partnerships.

In 2024, LWSD! added a unique experiential education program to its core programming. Look What She’s DOING! is a two-week intensive program designed to train emerging female filmmakers, age 30 and older, who have a professional interest in learning documentary filmmaking, who may not have any technical experience, and who lack the resources to attend university or other tuition-based training programs. Look What She’s DOING! is offered annually, along with additional half-day technical workshops covering various elements of filmmaking, including camera, audio and lighting.
