SUMMARY:Changing the Ratio Oscars
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted an in-person cocktail reception in Los Angeles as we celebrate with like-minded folks interested in amplifying underrepresented voices during awards season. There was a panel discussion with Gotham award winning filmmaker Vera Drew and Academy Award nominated composer Laura Karpman\, followed by a reception celebrating creators of all marginalized genders. With some light bites\, great music\, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Co-hosted by the AWFC\, Film Fatales\, ReFrame and WIF. Sponsored by Paramount+. \nChanging 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. \nFilm Fatales recently launched the Parity Pipeilne\, a results-driven initiative that fights inequities in the film industry by connecting underrepresented filmmakers directly with key decision-makers seeking to hire equitably and program inclusively. \nReFrame is getting ready to release its WHAT TO WATCH: 2026 Film FYC 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. \nWith 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.

SUMMARY:Wellness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members impacted by the climate crisis were invited to an online wellness webinar with Dr. Annalise Ophelian from Reps on Set. Moderated by Film Fatales member Magdalena Albizu from NubianLatina Productions. \nWe’re in shock\, we’re overwhelmed\, we’re grieving\, we’re frightened. Whether you’ve been impacted directly\, are providing mutual aid\, or are witnessing from afar\, the Los Angeles fires have taken a huge toll on mental wellness. Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Annalise Ophelian offers a series of guided somatic exercises to help you cope with stress and overwhelming emotions brought on by recent events. Together we gained an understanding into how our nervous systems react to emergency situations\, and practiced breath work\, body movement\, and other tools designed to help us calm and soothe ourselves during unstable times. While this guided somatic webinar has been developed for Film Fatales members in Los Angeles\, all are welcome to rewatch.

SUMMARY:Framing Agnes
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales and BFFoundation for a discussion with the creative team behind Framing Agnes fresh off their Sundance premiere. Speakers include director Chase Joynt\, (cinematographer) Aubree Bernier-Clarke\, (participant) Jules Gill-Peterson\, (writer) Morgan M. Page\, and Samantha Curley (producer). Moderated by programmer Stephanie Owens. \nIn 1958\, a young trans woman named Agnes entered a study about sex disorders at UCLA to get the gender-affirming care she needed\, by any means necessary. Her story was long considered to be exceptional until never-before-seen case files of other patients were found in 2017. Directed by Chase Joynt (No Ordinary Man) and featuring an all-star cast of transgender artists and actors\, Framing Agnes uses re-enactment and genre-blurring storytelling techniques to breathe new life into previously unknown people who redefined gender in the midcentury. Featuring Angelica Ross\, Jen Richards\, Zackary Drucker\, Silas Howard\, Max Wolf Valerio\, and Stephen Ira.

Do bold choices help you stand out or are they something you have to fight to hold onto? How do you maintain your artistic integrity? How do cinematographers like to communicate with directors? All these questions and more were answered!

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.
