Happy New Year!
On the eve of this new decade, join us as we look back at some of the accomplishments of Film Fatales and toast to our successes...
Since our inception, we've built a robust community of over 1000 feature filmmakers and have become an industry resource for programmers and producers looking to expand their talent pools. We are excited to welcome hundreds of new members this year, including 40% women of color and 20% LGBTQ+ directors, many of whom were featured in this GIANT PHOTO we took!
This has been an important year of growth for Film Fatales as we launched our Parity Pipeline initiative, which has quickly become a talent discovery platform that supports projects directed by women in all phases of development, production, and post. We also continue to built partnerships with dozens of organizations including ABC, CAAM, CBS, FFA, NALIP, NBC, Respectability, and more.
Film Fatales provides year-round support for underrepresented filmmakers by facilitating intimate networking events in a dozen cities every month and organizing workshops, panels, screenings and receptions throughout the year. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to sustain our efforts.
Now let's raise a glass to the unprecedented progress from movements such as #MeToo and TimesUp and the dozens of new initiatives supporting marginalized voices. We look forward to continuing this push for parity in 2020. Happy New Year!
