#BuildTheDoorWithWISE

Women in Showbiz Everywhere (WISE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with offices in Los Angeles and New Jersey — and growing chapters in London and India.

Our mission: To amplify the voices of women and underrepresented creatives in global entertainment, accelerate their careers, and ensure their stories redefine the future of media.

The WISE Center for Film & Arts will be the first-ever creative hub entirely dedicated to empowering women, non-binary, and underrepresented storytellers across film, television, music, digital media, and the arts. From training to exhibition, the WISE Center will provide it all: a space to create, collaborate, and be seen.

Join us as we take the first step to make this vision a reality. Our goal for this inaugural gala is $100,000 — #BuildTheDoorWithWISE. Every membership, donation, and ticket helps us lay the foundation of the WISE Center and expand programs that empower storytellers everywhere.

For decades, women and underrepresented creatives have fought to be seen, heard, and funded in the entertainment industry. WISE is changing that. We’ve built a thriving global community through film screenings, partnerships, and mentorship — now, we’re creating a physical home for that community.

The WISE Center PLAN:

Phase 1 – Laying the Foundation ($1M)

Phase 1 is our priority — the first step to making the WISE Center a reality. Your support will fund:
🎬 Film Academy & Event Spaces – classrooms and networking areas for masterclasses, workshops, and panels
📽️ One Large Screening Room – host premieres, private screenings, and community events
🎙️ Podcast Studios – professional-quality recording spaces for members and emerging talent

All participants in the Center will be part of WISE One, our global membership program. Phase 1 spaces will generate talent, programming, and revenue, and in the first year alone, we aim to train 100+ emerging creatives, creating a sustainable pipeline for programs and a physical home for women in entertainment.

New Jersey is reclaiming its place in filmed entertainment — now is the time to get women and underrepresented communities in front of the world. Phase 1 is the foundation: training, showcasing, and supporting global creatives in a growing industry.

Future Phases

Phase 2 ($4M): Post-production facilities, second screening room, archival space
Phase 3 ($5M, total $10M): Fully realized WISE Center with multiple screening rooms, wellness spaces, artist residencies, mentorship programs, and global collaborations

Through #BuildTheDoorWithWISE, we are raising $1M to start Phase 1 — laying the foundation for a world-class creative hub.

When the world doesn’t open doors for us — we build our own.
