ReFrame Rise

Presented in Partnership with Netflix’s Creative Equity Fund

ReFrame Rise™ is a comprehensive and customized two-year program designed by ReFrame, a Women in Film and Sundance Institute collaboration, to accelerate high-level, sustainable advancement for mid-career talent.

Building upon the successes of the first ReFrame Rise class, launched in 2019, ReFrame is expanding the program to support cinematographers as well as directors. Through applying Rise’s sponsorship-driven career acceleration model - which has proven to be successful for directors - to the inaugural group of DPs, ReFrame aims to demonstrate a commitment to developing both above and below-the-line talent, and the urgent need for a cross-industry investment in these roles in which women remain underrepresented.

We are very excited to support this supremely talented cohort of Directors and Cinematographers as a partnership between Women in Film and the Sundance Institute’s Women at Sundance Program. We have learned firsthand the value of the sponsorship opportunity for women artists and look forward to supporting this next group as they level up and find sustainability in their careers.
— Michelle Satter, Sundance Institute Founding Senior Director, Artist Program & ReFrame Leadership Council
