International Women's Day 2023
Women have played leading roles in the history and growth of the film industry since its inception, both in front of and behind the camera. In honour of International Women’s Day, Story Institute is proud to recognize the recent accomplishments of the skilled and inspiring women who provide exceptional training and opportunities for our students as instructors.
Beyond their work as mentors, they work on a wide variety of projects with some of the biggest names in the industry. These inspiring artists consistently find new ways to reach higher levels in their own craft, while simultaneously inspiring Story Institute students to exceed their own expectations in the diploma program and well after graduation.
We applaud these inspiring professional actors who dare to dream big and live bigger, not just today, but in every moment.
