Emmy Awards Season Cocktail Reception

Thursday June 18th 2026

Film Fatales hosted an in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood, celebrating with like-minded folks interested in amplifying underrepresented voices during Emmy Awards season. There were light bites, great music, and plenty of good cheer to go around.

Co-hosted by AWFC, Film Fatales, ReFrame, and WIF with support from Paramount+, First Entertainment Credit Union The Hollywood Commission, and ShotDeck.

Changing the Ratio is a cross disciplinary networking event for industry professionals celebrating women and gender expansive filmmakers and below the line crew. As the Emmys are approaching, 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.

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.
