These master-class-style sessions cover a wide range of topics—think accounting, legal, distribution, casting, and beyond. Each session is crafted to help you build your skills, expand your knowledge, and gain practical tools to fuel your professional growth, all in a convenient and engaging format.

Brave Conversations is all about creating a space where women in our industry can tackle tough topics, face challenges head-on, and grow together. With guidance from experts and the strength of shared experiences, this series provides a safe and supportive environment to have the real, meaningful conversations that matter. It’s more than just a program—it’s a catalyst for personal and professional growth and a way to build deeper connections within our community.
"Listening In"
Listening In invites members to engage in intimate fireside chats with some of the industry's most accomplished female creatives, turning the traditional expert panel on its head by fostering a personal and relaxed dialogue among friends. This unique setup not only reveals the remarkable personal stories, thoughts, and insights of these leading figures but also encourages a dynamic exchange of inspiring ideas through open Q&A sessions.
"Mentorship Program"
Our bi-annual mentorship program connects members in a powerful one-to-one framework and bridges the gap between women across the spectrum of their careers - from industry veterans to novices just beginning their journey, and those bravely transitioning to new careers later in life. This structure cultivates a vibrant exchange of knowledge and experiences between mentees and mentors, building a one-of-a-kind environment where support and growth thrive, fueled by the diverse strengths and inspiring insights of our community members.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Women in Film & Television Austin created the WIFT Austin Podcast. Produced and hosted by members of Women in Film & Television Austin, the podcast educated and inspired not only members, but also the creative community at large. WIFT Austin's podcast was a powerful medium that helped members stay connected, gain insight from trailblazers across Austin's creative community, and share ideas.
