SUMMARY:Cents and Sensibility
DESCRIPTION:Breaking Through the Lens joined Film Fatales at the Toronto International Film Festival for an in person panel discussion about making meaningful change in the world of film financing with Apoorva Guru (Producer\, Joyland)\, April Shih (Founder\, Diversity Hire)\, Luis De Filippis (Director\, Something You Said Last Night)\, Nikkia Moulterie (Producer\, Nanny)\, and Sophia Dilley (SVP\, Concord Originals). Moderated by Jasmin Morrison (Sky Original Film).  \nThe constant search for funding is one of the hardest aspects of creating a film. Access to finance and budget size are the major barriers for under-represented groups in the industry. This talk brought together directors\, producers\, sales agents and financiers who walk the walk to find creative ways to fund a diverse slate of projects. Through their experiences\, we explored how one can move the needle on whose story gets to be told and what you can do to find funding for your films!

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.

SUMMARY:Transgender Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members participated in this interactive inclusion workshop hosted by GLAAD and Scott Turner Schofield (Founder of Speaking of Transgender)\, exploring the topic of what it means to be transgender and the past\, present\, and future of trans media representation. \nStarting with an overview of what it means to be transgender and non-binary\, along with need-to-know terminology\, the presentation examines stereotypes about trans people and the real world consequences of those. Discussions follow of the history of transgender representation in film and television\, the current state\, and how to improve trans representation in the future\, including best practices for casting authentically and including trans people behind the camera. Viewing provides a thorough understanding of how GLAAD can be a resource to content creators in telling authentic and accurate trans stories that truly reflect the world around us and accelerate acceptance through culture change.

SUMMARY:Kindred Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Author and screenwriter Namina Forna (The Gilded Ones) and genre filmmaker Zandashé Brown (Blood Runs Down) joined us for a discussion\, moderated by Film Fatales member Tchaiko Omawale (Solace)\, about Black Women in Genre. \nBlack women have had a significant impact in genre over the years\, with a recent renaissance of novels by Black female writers being adapted for the screen. Genre is often used to explore taboo topics and socio-cultural perspectives from a new angle. Come learn from filmmakers creating in this space. What are their inspirations? What stories do they want to tell and why?

SUMMARY:Born Curious
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales for an interactive workshop about applying for an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Film Grant with Rebecca Katz\, the current Sloan Consultant at Sundance Institute and Film Independent. Moderated by Film Fatales member and Sloan grant recipient Annie Howell (Co-director\, Small Beautifully Moving Parts). \nLaunched in 1996\, the Sloan Film Program aims to influence the next generation of filmmakers to tackle science and technology themes and characters\, increase visibility for feature films that depict this subject matter\, and develop new work that can be produced and released theatrically.

Over the past 15 years\, the Foundation has partnered with six of the top film schools in the country–including AFI\, Carnegie Mellon\, Columbia\, NYU\, UCLA\, and USC– and established annual awards in screenwriting and film production. The Foundation also supports artist development programs at the Sundance Institute\, the Tribeca Film Institute\, the Black List\, SFFILM\, the Athena Film Festival\, and Film Independent.

SUMMARY:Cast to the Future
DESCRIPTION:Rewatch this panel discussion about inclusive casting with casting consultant Ava Rigelhaupt (Two Countries)\, filmmaker Alaa Zabara (Salahy) and talent agent Gail Williamson (KMR Talent). Moderated by Film Fatales member Khadifa Wong (Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance). \nThe question of who should tell stories of marginalized and underrepresented voices has been much discussed\, sometimes leading to heated stances over artistic freedom\, cultural appropriation and accusations of censorship. And yet\, disabled stories are sorely lacking in representation. Twenty percent of people have a disability while on-screen representation hovers around three percent\, with no meaningful change in the last five years. While more attention is being paid to hiring disabled actors for disabled roles\, what about opportunities for disabled actors to play nondisabled characters? And who should be writing these roles? What are best practices for inclusive casting and accessible sets?

SUMMARY:Strike While the Iron Is Hot
DESCRIPTION:Is all money created equal? When is the right (and wrong) time to apply for grant funding? How do investors work?

Moderated by Film Fatales member Sharmila Ray.
