SUMMARY:Consider This Members
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales for an online discussion about how to launch a successful awards campaign with limited resources. \nWe heard from filmmakers who have produced feature films that have been nominated for Spirit Awards\, Gotham Awards\, and Academy Awards. Panelists included producers Elizabeth Woodward (SXSW winning Another Body)\, and Nikkia Moulterie (Gotham and Spirit nominated Nanny). Moderated by Film Fatales member Liz Sargent (Take Me Home). \nAwards matter in raising the visibility of films for a mainstream audience\, introducing new cultural perspectives\, and elevating films seeking distribution. In the past 95 years\, only three women have won an Oscar for Best Director and only seven have been nominated. As Variety recently reported\, “Every year\, the race for the Oscar gets more expensive and less inclusive.” Campaigns for Spirit Awards and Gotham Awards are similarly challenging. Filmmakers must figure out how to independently cover their marketing costs and get their films seen by voters and audiences alike. We learned the nuts and bolts of what it takes to run an independent awards campaign in this round table conversation. \nWith support from event partners Pano Network\, The Gotham\, and NYWIFT. Thank you for coming!

SUMMARY:Fatales Forward Showcase Members
DESCRIPTION:Thanks for joining Film Fatales for an online showcase with the fellows from the Fatales Forward mentorship program: Brit Fryer\, Raven Two Feathers\, Rey Tang\, Silvia Del Carmen Castaños\, and Ryan Rox. Moderated by Nava Mau. \nWith support from the NEA\, Fatales Forward is an innovative fellowship for emerging filmmakers working on their debut or sophomore feature films about the trans experience. The program consists of three months of one-on-one mentorship with established trans filmmakers\, a virtual Career Advancement Intensive\, creative peer to peer workshops\, and ongoing artist development support. \nThe Fatales Forward Fellowship was launched when trans visibility in the media was at an all time high and representation behind the camera was almost non-existent. As we all know\, the situation is even more dire today. We need to move beyond visibility towards true acceptance and celebration. That journey begins with authentic authorship and trans and nonbinary creators telling our own stories. We hope to create pockets of joy and creativity through our work together and look forward to celebrating this year’s fellows as they move boldly forward into the future.

SUMMARY:Every Body Screening
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales and Focus Features for a special New York preview screening of Every Body directed by Film Fatales member Julie Cohen. \nEvery Body is a revelatory investigation of the lives of intersex people. The film tells the stories of three individuals who have moved from childhoods marked by shame\, secrecy\, and non-consensual surgeries to thriving adulthoods after each decided to set aside medical advice to keep their bodies a secret and instead came out as their authentic selves. Actor and screenwriter River Gallo (they/them)\, political consultant Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they)\, and Ph.D. student Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) are now leaders in a fast-growing global movement advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community and an end to unnecessary surgeries. Woven into the story is a stranger-than-fiction case of medical abuse\, featuring exclusive footage from the NBC News archives\, which helps explain the modern-day treatment of intersex people.
