A Film Fatales membership lets underrepresented filmmakers & their supporters hire, find work, level up, and connect with each other.

Please scroll for a quick overview of how to make the most of your Film Fatales membership. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to message us. We’re happy to help!

Getting Started

This membership portal is built for you! You can update your director profile, personally manage your projects, access industry discounts and discover new opportunities.

Fill Out Your Profile

Add your headshot and name, location, bio, and any other information that will help people connect with, reach out to, or hire you. 

TIP: Profiles with photos tend to get the most engagement.

Add Your Project to the Streaming Library

Our Streaming Library is a searchable catalog of feature films directed by Film Fatales members available to watch online, making it easy for the public to discover new creative voices. Pro members are invited to add your project to the streaming library and find your new fans!

Add Your Project to the Parity Pipeline

Are you a Pro member? Add up to three projects or directing reels to the Parity Pipeline to gain access to exclusive submission discounts and waivers. You will also be eligible for recommendations for funding, screenings, distribution opportunities and other career advancement possibilities! Creator members can upgrade their membership to participate.

Introduce Yourself to the Community

Community starts here. The Film Fatales Facebook Page is a private group to connect underrepresented feature film and television directors from around the world.

Not sure what to say? Let everyone know a film you’ve seen recently that you loved! That’s a fool-proof conversation starter with this group.

Build Your Network

Make a Connection.

Film Fatales is about more than finding jobs, it’s about creating the community we want to be a part of. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to people you want to work with, people you have a question for, or just people you admire. Together we can build a supportive, inclusive, transformative film industry community.

Please note that this is an inclusive community and that absolutely no racism, sexism, ageism, classism, ableism, fatphobia, or other form of oppression will be tolerated.
