Moderated by gender equity expert Vicki Shabo from New America with opening remarks from film and television director Rachel Feldman (Lilly\, The Baxters). \n At a moment when women’s rights and gender equity are under attack\, female-forward stories that include authentic depictions of women and gender expansive voices couldn’t be more important and continue to be audience-pleasers – and yet the conventional wisdom is that “muscular” stories are more likely to appeal to viewers. Come hear from television and film creatives about recent projects that center women’s lives and the stories they carry as they navigate jobs\, family\, and relationships on screen. We’ll discuss the power and pitfalls of selling and telling stories about women’s full lives and share data on audiences’ desire for authentic\, inclusive storytelling about gender\, work\, family\, and care. This intimate gathering offers television creators and filmmakers an opportunity to dive into the cultural impact of storytelling while giving space to trade insights\, share resources\, and connect with others interested in amplifying underrepresented voices in the film industry.

We each have lived experiences\, family backgrounds\, and hopes and fears about the future that shape our own views about navigating work\, family\, and care—yet American culture often leaves us feeling alone and unsupported. People often feel that the challenges of managing jobs and family or personal needs are private and ours alone to bear. Yet there is joy and strength in building community\, recognizing shared struggles\, and engaging in discussion about a desire for change on screen and in life.  \nThis candid discussion was led by Alyse Walsh (Baby/Girls)\, Luchina Fisher (The Dads) and Vicki Shabo (New America) about why visibility and representation matter\, and how art can change culture and policy. Followed by a sit-down brunch for Film Fatales members attending the fest. We look forward to seeing you next time!

There was a panel discussion with Gotham award winning filmmaker Vera Drew and Academy Award nominated composer Laura Karpman\, followed by a reception celebrating creators of all marginalized genders. With some light bites\, great music\, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Co-hosted by the AWFC\, Film Fatales\, ReFrame and WIF. Sponsored by Paramount+. \nChanging the Ratio is a cross disciplinary networking event for industry professionals celebrating women\, trans and/or nonbinary filmmakers during awards season. Our focus is to shine a light on some of the amazing projects and their creators from this year as we come together for a night of industry conversation and networking with professional filmmakers\, crew\, and influential industry decision-makers. \nFilm Fatales recently launched the Parity Pipeilne\, a results-driven initiative that fights inequities in the film industry by connecting underrepresented filmmakers directly with key decision-makers seeking to hire equitably and program inclusively. \nReFrame is getting ready to release its WHAT TO WATCH: 2026 Film FYC Guide. As part of WIF’s mission to advocate for change\, the Voter Guide aims to amplify the work of deserving women\, trans\, and nonbinary folk\, serving as a go-to resource for industry voters who are conscious of gender bias and desire equity in the industry. \nWith the current underrepresentation of women and non-binary creatives across technical and craft categories – from directors to composers\, cinematographers\, VFX and editors – our collective goal with this event is to carve out and occupy shared space. As film award  season is underway\, this event will highlight members across our organizations who have the potential to be nominated and considered for awards.
