SUMMARY:Framing Agnes Members

Speakers include director Chase Joynt\, (cinematographer) Aubree Bernier-Clarke\, (participant) Jules Gill-Peterson\, (writer) Morgan M. Page\, and Samantha Curley (producer).

DESCRIPTION:Thanks for joining Film Fatales for a discussion about Acting in Your Own Film with multi-hyphenate creators Erica Fae (To Keep The Light)\, Rain Valdez (Razor Tongue\, Lit Girl)\, Tamara Bass (Baby Boy\, If Not Now\, When?)\, and Sujata Day (Insecure\, Definition Please). \nFor many filmmakers\, directing themselves is the scariest and most daunting part of a project.

What does it mean to juggle wearing different hats on the same project? This round table discussion offered real world advice for navigating working on both sides of the camera.

SUMMARY:Let's Make A Deal
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales\, FilmNorth\, and Distribution Advocates for a free distribution workshop and teach-in about Negotiating Distribution Deals with producer Amy Hobby (What Happened\, Miss Simone?) and distributor Andrew Neel (Radiant Films International). Moderated by Film Fatales member Avril Z. Speaks (Jinn). \nIn this session\, a producer and a distributor broke down the specific components of a distribution deal. Hearing from both sides of the negotiation table\, this session helped documentary filmmakers understand how to protect the interests of their film and avoid some of the common mistakes made by creators. Whether navigating educational or other distribution platforms\, panelists shared how filmmakers can get the most out of their deal by knowing the basics. \nThank you for attending!

SUMMARY:The Path Forward Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members Diane Fraher (The Heart Stays)\, Geeta Malik (India Sweets and Spices)\, Nancy Kates (Regarding Susan Sontag) and Saila Kariat (The Valley) lead this engaging discussion on directing your second feature. \nMany filmmakers find that\, even with the wealth of knowledge they have acquired in the process of realizing their first feature\, the second one is even more challenging. These experienced filmmakers explore the inspiration and obstacles they faced in making their second feature and discuss key issues such as figuring out which project to pursue\, finding funding\, getting talent\, and bridging the often large time gap between your first and second feature. Watch and consider what your own path forward might be!

SUMMARY:Transgender Storytelling Members
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.

SUMMARY:Ghouls Night Out
DESCRIPTION:Something spooktacular is brewing! As the days are growing longer and the darkness creeps in\, we joined together for a spooky filmmaker mixer to stir the cauldron of ideas with your fellow creatives.  We began with a group discussion and party games led by Film Fatales members Madeleine Olnek (Wild Nights with Emily) and Natasha Kermani (Lucky) before dividing up into smaller groups for intimate conversations based on a series of guided prompts. This private mixer for film fatales members was not recorded to create safe space for participation. Thanks for joining us!

SUMMARY:Kindred Spirits Members
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?
