SUMMARY:Storytelling Through Editing Members
DESCRIPTION:Editors Shannon Baker Davis\, (The Photograph)\, Miranda Yousef (The New Bauhaus)\, Juli Vizza (And She Could Be Next)\, and Caitlin Dixon (Kate Nash: Underestimate The Girl) joined Film Fatales for this conversation\, moderated by Film Fatales member Stacy Goldate (Dominatrix Waitrix)\, on storytelling and editing! \nThis panel discussion focuses on the collaborative\, often-intense relationship between the editor and director as partners in storytelling.

These seasoned and award-winning editors share their process of working together with directors to tell stories that matter.

SUMMARY:The Art of the Pitch Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members Catherine Eaton (The Sounding)\, Deborah Goodwin (The Pastor)\, Jessica Sanders (After Innocence)\, and Kate Tsang (Marvelous and the Black Hole) lead this workshop on all things pitching. \nYou have a show idea\, or you’ve created a brilliant film script\, or you’re invited in to give your “take” as a director on a project that is already green-lit. Now what? How do you convince others your vision is the vision\, that they should trust you with their money\, or jump on board to create or collaborate or produce your story? How do you move from your imagination into the room successfully? Getting “in the room” is only half the battle. How you prepare and what you do when you’re there can make all the difference. \nThe panelists discuss different types of pitch meetings\, battle stories from actual pitching experiences and the path to those opportunities\, individual strategies on how to prepare for a pitch\, some tips for creating pitch materials\, that half-hour before you walk in the room\, what to do when you’re actually in the room\, and – anecdotally – how the pandemic impacted their experiences pitching. Watch and learn the art of the pitch! \n  \n  \n
