Diane Kruger & Gugu Mbatha-Raw Team Up As Jury at Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Diane Kruger happily strike a pose together while attending Through Her Lens: The Tribeca CHANEL Women’s Filmmaker Program cocktail reception held at Greenwich Hotel Penthouse on Wednesday evening (November 6) in New York City.

The 36-year-old Motherless Brooklyn actress and the 43-year-old Welcome to Marwen actress served as jury members at the event alongside Sam Taylor-Johnson and Paula Weinstein.

Writer-director Hannah Peterson and producer Taylor Shung were selected by Diane Kruger and the jury to receive the production grant, along with production support from Tribeca Studios for their short film, CHAMP.

Additionally, the four other projects in the program each received a development grant to support continued work on their respective films to bring them closer to production. In total $100,000 in filmmaker grants were awarded between the five projects.

This program for women filmmakers helps break barriers of access and exposure in the industry so any support you can assist with would be meaningful and please keep it in mind for future stories about initiatives to support and change the landscape for women storytellers.

Also in attendance at the event were actresses Jennifer Westfeldt and Alysia Reiner.
