Women in Film was founded in Los Angeles in 1973 by Tichi Wilkerson Kassel (former publisher and editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter) and a group of women who represented various facets of the film and television industry. It was created to recognize, develop, and actively promote the unique visions of women in the field of communications.

Today, there are over 40 chapters worldwide spanning 4 continents, 18 countries and 10,000 global members.

In 2002, Phyllis Cesare-Taie established the 44th Chapter of WIF in Las Vegas, Nevada. Its core and founding members consist of a dynamic and diverse group of independent producers, writers, administrative and managerial personnel, looking to enhance and improve education and employment opportunities in Las Vegas, Nevada.
