And Women & Girls Who Dream Big

Pioneers in Skirts is an inspiring film about pioneering ambition and the obstructions that hold many girls & women back from achieving their aspirations.

The film is a 60-min multi-award-winning impact documentary that aims to encourage a healthy dialogue about unfair perceptions and cultural prejudices women often confront in their careers, and what we ALL must do — both women & men — right now to change this.

Through characters and stories, and underlining their experiences with statistics and expert interviews, the film addresses what it is that can chip away at a girl or woman and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams.

The Impact We’ve Made So Far!

Since the movie was launched late in 2020, we’ve been screening at schools, communities, and companies — reaching over 15k viewers.

The film has proven to be a catalyst for productive & meaningful conversations –

Schools have embraced the film as a ‘teaching aide’ to get students talking about their career aspirations.
Communities and companies are including the film in their programs for achieving corporate and social change, and to inspire women and men to become allies.

Our first international screening was at a United Nations Commission on the Status of Women event in 2021. Since then, Pioneers in Skirts has garnered 13 Film Festival Official Selections, 6 Film Festival Awards and 1 Regional Emmy Nomination!

We continue to be on a great ride :)

We’ve also received the really awesome distinction of being the only film to receive a standing ovation at SXSW EDU 2023!
