“I’m excited to partner up with Artlist as a mentor”

From March 3 until March 22, women creators are invited to submit a plan for a video project they would like to realize. Three winning projects will receive nearly $15,000 worth of filmmaking gear, cash grants, and Artlist subscriptions to make their idea come to life. Artlist will also partner each of the three grant recipients with one of three professional mentors.

The Artlist Women Creator Fund is the latest expansion of Artlist’s company-led initiatives that prioritizes equal opportunity and the education of emerging creators. Since its founding, Artlist has supported creators of all kinds by making its professional-grade tools and products accessible to all users. With creators forming the backbone of Artlist, providing them with meaningful support is part and parcel of Artlist’s mission.

Artlist has tapped three hugely popular women creatives who are defining the moment to act as mentors to the three contest winners. Kelsey Brannan, better known as Premiere Gal, is a respected creative director and videographer with over 370k subscribers to her video production tutorial channel on YouTube. Cache Bunny is a VFX artist and director known for her dizzying video editing in advertisements for the likes of Microsoft, Adobe, and Virgin. Karen X. Cheng is a creative director and social videographer with over 500 million views tapped by Apple, Snapchat, and Netflix to create viral social videos. Winners will have one-on-one sessions with the mentors to advise on and support the winning projects.

“I am so proud to be part of this project with Artlist! Supporting fellow female creatives is an important and necessary action that every creator should take to help balance the scales. I can’t wait to see what amazing things these creators have in store,” says Cache Bunny.

“I’m excited to partner up with Artlist as a mentor,” says Kelsey Brannan, the creator of the Premiere Gal YouTube channel. “I know that Artlist has been a great resource for me as a creator and a video editor when it comes to sound effects and music, so this is a great opportunity.”
