In May 2024 we had our first Look What SHE’s Doing! cohort, the films they produced are currently in post-production.
We plan to have another cohort in 2025!
Look What SHE’s Doing! is a program focused on supporting and uplifting emerging women filmmakers. Under Sarah Moshman’s leadership, a cohort of up to 12 women, female-identifying and non-binary individuals are selected to participate in the program over two weekends in May on the Mount Saint Mary’s University Doheny Campus. The first weekend consists of learning camera, audio and lighting basics, and the second weekend is a film shoot with the goal of creating two or more short documentaries to add to the Look What SHE Did! collection of films.
Stay tuned for the 2024 films to be released and the 2025 cohort application cycle!

“We tend to reserve the word emerging for youth, or for the beginning of a career, but any woman in Hollywood will tell you, we are always emerging in our lives and careers.” said Deputy Director Sarah Moshman. “Look What SHE’s Doing! is for ages 30 and up and up and up, no experience required. Early career, mid-career, never planning a career in film, anyone is welcome to apply. I am extremely passionate about sharing my knowledge of using the camera as I know it is the greatest tool at our disposal when it comes to representation of our stories on screen.”
Sarah Moshman is known for her films shining a light on female protagonists, women throughout history, and themes of motherhood. Her most notable film Losing Sight of Shore follows the story of four brave women that rowed across the Pacific Ocean from California to Australia setting two world records. She secured distribution of the film in 190 countries on Netflix worldwide landing in the “Women Who Rule The Screen” Category and on many Top 10 Sports and Travel Films Lists. More recently, Sarah directed a narrative short about the 1st mother in space entitled UNBOUND, which won 1st Place at NASA’s Cinespace competition and screened on the International Space Station.
Moshman joined the Look What SHE Did! Team as Deputy Director in 2023 and hopes the Look What SHE’s Doing! program will continue for years to come.
Artistic Director of Look What SHE Did! Julie Hébert appreciates how this new program builds on the legacy of the non-profit she founded 10 years ago. “This program represents the next evolution of Look What SHE Did! expanding the mission of women telling stories about other women by equipping emerging female filmmakers to do that, at any age. I am excited to see the stories these filmmakers will produce under the guidance of Sarah Moshman.”
