At A Lady Macbeth Initiative, we empower women and trans women in filmmaking to break through barriers and transform the storytelling landscape. By providing mentorship, funding connections, and essential resources, we help emerging women directors create powerful short films that challenge norms and inspire change. In New York City, over the past five years, we have supported more than 150 women-led projects, giving voice to those historically underrepresented behind the camera.

Our programs foster a breakthrough in gender equity within the art of filmmaking. We nurture young women and girls, encouraging them to explore every aspect of the creative process—from writing and directing to editing—so they can confidently craft narratives that reflect their authentic experiences. Every donation fuels this vital work, enabling us to expand access, fund innovative projects, and create a supportive community where women’s artistic visions thrive and lead the future of film.

Your support is a lifeline that empowers women to transform their dreams into impactful stories that resonate globally. By donating today, you help us create a more inclusive, diverse, and vibrant filmmaking industry, ensuring that women’s voices are heard, celebrated, and amplified. Join us in shaping a future where every woman filmmaker can succeed and inspire generations to come.
