Divas Direct: Film Workshops for Girls educates high school girls in San Diego on the technical and creative skills of filmmaking. Through the mentorship of local women filmmakers, the young women learn the technical skills of producing, filming and editing. The Film Foundation hopes to further develop the culture of women filmmakers by breaking female stereotypes, promoting young women into leadership roles and giving them experience in positions that lack female representation.
The Divas Direct: Film Workshops for Girls' mission is to educate high school aged young women in San Diego about film. Through the mentorship of women filmmakers in San Diego, the young women will create, produce, film and edit multiple P.S.A.'s that will address teen concerns and issues prevalent to today's young women. Through this program, we hope to break female stereotypes and create social change by promoting women into positions of leadership and give them experience in jobs that are male-prevalent.
SDWFF's ongoing partners include Monarch School, Coronado Middle School, Coronado High School, San Diego MANA Hermanitas, San Diego Girls Alliance, High Tech Middle Media Arts, Escondido Arts Partnership and Girl Scouts, which serve students from various ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. If your organization is looking for a media program for young women in high school, please contact us.
