Join Film Fatales members from around the world for an end-of-year virtual fundraiser and networking mixer open to members and allies alike! Directors, actors, cinematographers, composers, producers…filmmakers and film lovers of all backgrounds are welcome to attend. On the last day of our Now More Than Ever crowdfunding campaign, we will gather together to celebrate the strength and tenacity of our filmmaker community. Raise a glass and reconnect with like-minded filmmakers to lift our spirits and create stronger connections as we look forward to brighter days ahead. We will begin with a guided conversation before dividing up into smaller discussion circles for meaningful discussions based on a series of prompts. We will close out the evening with a mindful intention setting exercise for the new year. Your ticket will help us meet our fundraising goal for the end of the year. You can also donate directly. #NowMoreThanEver we need stories that illuminate, inspire, and imagine pathways to a better future…because the power of film to promote empathy is indispensable. See you soon!
