AI for Women in Screen

Project Name: AI for Women in Screen

Funding Recipient: Jessie Hughes

Activity: A generative AI Masterclass designed to upskill women screen practitioners in AI tools, enabling them to lead creative teams through technological transformation in the screen industry. Delivered in partnership with Screen Producers Australia, the program employs a “train the trainer” model, providing participants with hands-on experience in creating AI-enhanced visual treatments and equipping them to deliver similar workshops to others across Australia. The program will be offered as a 2-day in-person Masterclass in Sydney for 30 selected women and a 1-day online Masterclass for 50+ national participants. Led by Jessie Hughes, an awarded creative technologist and screenwriter, the initiative aims to increase women’s visibility and value in the industry by adding graduates to a national database of hireable AI-literate screen practitioners, addressing the underrepresentation of women in AI fields. The project is designed for scalability and long-term impact through continued resource sharing and future program iterations.
