2025 ReFrame Rise

ReFrame, an initiative founded by the Sundance Institute and WIF (formerly known as Women In Film), announced the new class of ReFrame Rise™ fellows for their comprehensive, customized two-year program designed to accelerate high-level, sustainable advancement for mid-career talent.

Following the successful launch of the inaugural ReFrame Rise™ class in 2019, and expansion to include cinematographers in the 2022 cohort, ReFrame continues to refine its strategies to support mid-career filmmakers with this class of fellows. With continued support from and in partnership with Netflix, ReFrame Rise has an enduring commitment to developing both above and below-the-line talent and continuing a pipeline of support toward resilient and lasting careers. Over the next two years, fellows will be connected with industry professionals who will serve as sponsors, offering fellows a deeper, more engaged level of support than traditional mentorship. Fellows will have elite access to a variety of ReFrame and WIF events and stakeholders, support on personal PR and publicity materials and ongoing craft refinement sessions as well as strategic support in making strides toward career goals. Fellows will also have opportunities to connect with the WIF Directing and Cinematography fellows to continue building the chain by forging relationships with next- generation talent in their fields.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
