SUMMARY:From Shorts to Features
DESCRIPTION:Revisit a Film Fatales discussion about expanding a short into a feature film with Film Fatales members Cidney Hue (Ovum)\, Deb Shoval (AWOL)\, Erin Vassilopoulos (Superior)\, and Sonejuhi Sinha (Stray Dolls). \nThis round table discussion amplifies creative voices who have used their short films to support their feature work. Directors discuss how to use a short film as a “calling card” to find funding for the feature and build a creative team. We also address the logistical and creative challenges of expanding a short into longer form content. Do you write the feature first and shoot the first act? Do you write the short script and then expand? Learn how to take your short form content to the next level from filmmakers who have been there before.

SUMMARY:Behind the Curtain Members
DESCRIPTION:Revisit a Film Fatales discussion about what filmmakers need to know about inclusive casting with Casting Directors Erica Hart (Enemies of the State)\, Jennifer Ajemian (Feeling Through)\, Victor Vasquez (X Casting). Moderated by Film Fatales member Stavroula Toska (Beneath the Olive Tree). \nEver wonder what really goes on in the mind of a casting director before deciding to work with a director? How do you\, the director\, know you have hired the right casting director for your project? What is the difference between “color-blind casting” and “color-conscious casting?” What are best practices for casting inclusively? We talk all about this and more from three of the busiest casting directors on the East Coast.

SUMMARY:Going Paperless Members
DESCRIPTION:We hosted an interactive workshop about Going Paperless on set with Film Fatales member Valerie Weiss (Director of Mixtape\, Outer Banks\, and Prodigal Son). \nValerie discussed how Scriptation can empower you to navigate the new world of digital scripts\, shorter work days\, remote collaboration\, and social distancing without compromising your production workflow. Through a demonstration of the app’s tools like Note Transfer\, Script Annotation\, Bookmarking\, and Facing pages\, Valerie showed us how she uses Scriptation successfully on set. Watch the recording to gain insight into her process and see how she works within the new production safety guidelines. \nValerie first started using Scriptation four years ago when she was introduced to it by the cast of Scandal who were fans of the program because of its almost instantaneous notes transfer when new drafts of episodes arrived. Valerie adopted it immediately because of its vast functionality (annotating\, adding photo references\, and more)\, the positive effect on the environment by going paperless\, and the powerful way it increased communication with her department heads. Once the pandemic hit\, Valerie knew that Scriptation would be even more essential because of diminished physical contact in prep and production. Valerie has taught seminars on Scriptation to the Directors Guild of America\, the NBC Female Forward Program\, NYC Women Filmmakers and to the LA-based Saturday Sessions as well as industry-wide events for Scriptation. She will share the signature way she uses the app to direct her films and television episodes with enhanced creativity and productivity. \nParticipants received one complimentary month of Scriptation following the workshop.

SUMMARY:Thinking Outside the Box Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a discussion about episodic television directors Jennifer Arnold (Younger)\, Jennifer Phang (Resident Alien)\, Kelly Park (Punky Brewster)\, and Ro Haber (Pride). \nThis dynamic discussion with working episodic television directors covered prep\, production and post in a fast-paced environment; what happens in a tone meeting; how to communicate with actors on set; and each speaker’s unique career path. How do you break into directing television? How do you prepare to helm an episode of a popular show? What is it like being a “guest” on set? As productions resume and we return to set\, can we also use this opportunity to create a more inclusive\, humane and thoughtful work place?

SUMMARY:Walking Boldly Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a round table discussion with Showrunners\, Writers\, and Creators about breaking barriers in Episodic Television with Emily Spivack (Worn Stories)\, Ilse Fernandez (Cyberwar)\, Mel Shimkovitz (High Maintenance)\, and Xan Aranda (My Love). \nTogether we can amplify creative voices who are breaking barriers in episodic television. How do you pitch a show that has never been made before? How do you maintain your distinctive voice and build community around it? Does a unique approach help you break in\, or does it need to be packaged for the industry? How do you choose your battles and what have been your biggest challenges? What does it take to be part of the larger paradigm shift that’s happening in the episodic world and where do we go from here?

SUMMARY:Breaking the Mold Members
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining us for a discussion about experimental filmmaking techniques and bold stylistic choices with Film Fatales members Emily Cohen Ibañez (Fruits of Labor)\, Mariah Garnett (Trouble)\, Olivia Peace (Tahara)\, and Penny Lane (Hail Satan?). \nWe heard from filmmakers forging a path with their uniquely creative voices\, learned where they find inspiration\, how they cultivate their style\, and how they maintain it in the fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of the film industry. 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 you choose which aesthetic compromises to make?

SUMMARY:Stranger Than Fiction Members
DESCRIPTION:Revisit this intimate conversation about personal storytelling in the documentary space with Film Fatales members Elan Bogarín (306 Hollywood)\, Lynne Sachs (Film About a Father Who)\, and Tiffany Hsiung (Sing Me A Lullaby). Moderated by Film Fatales member Judith Helfand (Love & Stuff). \nThis conversation will focus on the unique and nuanced experiences of documentary filmmakers creating personal films. With insight into the ethical and artistic decisions that filmmakers make\, we will explore the complex relationship between directors and film participants. How do filmmakers approach delicate subject matter\, building trust and setting boundaries? What are the responsibilities that come with sharing personal histories with the world? How do relationships change throughout the course of a film?
