Brent Lang Executive Editor Bleecker Street, the Oscar-nominated studio behind “Captain Fantastic” and “Trumbo,” has partnered with New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) to award three scholarships to women attending film schools in the New York City area.

The grants are part of NYWIFT’s scholarship fund and will assist with educational costs associated with film production, living expenses, books, travel and tuition needs.

Bleecker Street’s contribution will be officially acknowledged at NYWIFT’s upcoming Muse Awards on March 28, which recently announced a mix of film executives, actors and filmmakers — including Arianna Bocco, Danielle Brooks, Deborah Chow, Maria Hinojosa, Sandra Lee, Freida Pinto, Lauren Ridloff, Sharon Stone, and Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences president Janet Yang — as this year’s honorees.

Scholarship recipients will be announced in the fall and will meet with the Bleecker Street team at their New York headquarters. “Supporting and highlighting female filmmakers and their work is our priority,  and we strive to continue this important mission through our partnership with NYWIFT,” said Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street. “As a New York-based company, we look forward to providing the financial means and support to help make these local future filmmakers’ dreams a possibility, with the hopes of one day collaborating on a film.”  NYWIFT CEO Cynthia Lopez adds, “We at New York Women in Film & Television work every day to advocate for inclusion, equity, diversity, and safe working environments in our media.
