SUMMARY:Changing The Ratio Emmys
DESCRIPTION:We had a blast at our in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood celebrating all of the Film Fatales members nominated for Emmys this year. There were some light bites\, great music\, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Co-hosted by AWFC\, Film Fatales\, ReFrame and WIF with support from Scriptation. \nChanging 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. \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. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Changing The Ratio
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members were invited to an in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood to find comfort in community and amplify underrepresented voices during awards season. There were some light bites\, great music\, and plenty of good cheer to go around. \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. \nCo-hosted by the AWFC\, Film Fatales\, ReFrame and WIF. Sponsored by Paramount and Netflix. \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. This private event was by invitation only.
