Changing The Ratio
Awards Season Cocktail Reception
Film Fatales members are invited to join us for an in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood as we celebrate with like-minded folks interested in amplifying underrepresented voices during awards season. We’ll have some light bites, great music, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Changing 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. Co-hosted by the AWFC, Film Fatales, ReFrame and WIF. Sponsored by Paramount. With 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. ReFrame is getting ready to release its 2024 Oscar Voter 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. This private event is by invitation only. Login to the member portal to RSVP. See you soon!
