Women in Entertainment

Women in Entertainment (501c3) launched in 2015 to bring together forward-thinkers from all areas of the entertainment industry to explore a variety of topics that greatly impact women: from human rights and women’s leadership, to storytelling across platforms and empowering the next generation of women to emerge as creative powerhouses. Incubated as a program at ArcLight Cinemas, the founders saw incredible growth in the first year and quickly developed the program as its own nonprofit organization to reach women across the country working in and aspiring to work in the entertainment industry.

Our programming is designed to spark a broader, more transparent dialogue that focuses on current and emerging topics with analysis and depth that has not yet been explored by a dedicated program. Together, we seek to find creative answers to the challenges facing women in the entertainment industry. WIE is a place of action, not accolades. We believe that when one of us rises, we all rise.
