SUMMARY:From Shorts to Features
DESCRIPTION:Revisit a Film Fatales discussion about expanding a short into a feature film with Film Fatales members Cidney Hue (Ovum)\, Deb Shoval (AWOL)\, Erin Vassilopoulos (Superior)\, and Sonejuhi Sinha (Stray Dolls). \nThis round table discussion amplifies creative voices who have used their short films to support their feature work.

Do you write the short script and then expand? Learn how to take your short form content to the next level from filmmakers who have been there before.

Does a unique approach help you break in\, or does it need to be packaged for the industry? How do you choose your battles and what have been your biggest challenges? What does it take to be part of the larger paradigm shift that’s happening in the episodic world and where do we go from here?

SUMMARY:The Donut King
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales and Greenwich Entertainment for a screening of The Donut King and a panel discussion with Director/Cinematographer/Writer Alice Gu and Writer/Editor Carol Martori moderated by Film Fatales member Stephanie Wang-Breal. \nTed’s story is one of fate\, love\, survival\, hard knocks\, and redemption. It’s the rags to riches story of a refugee escaping Cambodia\, arriving in America in 1975 and building an unlikely multi-million-dollar empire baking America’s favorite pastry\, the donut. Ted sponsored hundreds of visas for incoming refugees and helped them get on their feet teaching them the ways of the donut business. By 1979 he was living the American Dream. But\, in life\, great rise can come with great falls.

SUMMARY:Creating Your Own Work

Moderated by Meera Menon (Equity). \nThis round table discussion explored how we support each other’s unique voices to create our own work. During Covid\, our group of director friends started a writing circle that has changed the way we approach our careers. We are working together to support each other’s unique voices\, to create truly individual and inspired work\, not the stories we’ve heard before. Covid has forced us to slow down. We’ve found a silver lining in creating a new space to delve deep and listen to our inner storytellers\, and help each other to tell our stories in the most impactful and engaging ways. As we develop our individual careers\, we believe success comes from working together.
