Lois Weber Spirit Award
Nominate Candidates Below!

Lois Weber was born in 1879 on Pittsburgh's North Side and became one of Hollywood's first female directors. She started her work in silent film and produced over 100 films, more than any other woman in her era. She tackled social reform in her work and her commitment to innovation made her a true pioneer and one of the most notable filmmakers in the early 1900s. We have created this award to celebrate a Pittsburgh woman currently working in the industry who embodies the same qualities and spirit.

Nomination criteria: 

 

  • We're looking for a woman who's passionate about social reform and pushing our local film community forward for women. She champions inclusivity, but first and foremost, she's a fierce advocate for women in our city

  • 15 plus years of experience in film, video, or media, with a solid body of work behind her

  • A genuine passion for mentoring and uplifting other women, helping those she leads reach their own goals

  • Leads with kindness, strength, and humility - someone innovative who's still committed to learn, grow, and evolve in the industry

  • Must live within 30 miles of downtown Pittsburgh

  • Winner will be announced and nominees will be celebrated at our Holiday Mixer in December
