Online Community Circle April
Filmmaker Social Mixer
Film Fatales members are invited to our next Online Community Circle! Our Community Circles are a safe space where we learn from experts and this month we would like to connect with each other. Life can be hard and having a community to support you or remind you that you are not alone is important. Join us as we break into smaller groups for a deeper connection with each other. Together, let’s celebrate our vibrant filmmaking community and the spirit of collaboration and gratitude. With a guided conversation hosted by Elaine Chu and Magdalena Albizu. We invite all participants to fill out a Skill Share Form in advance to build deeper connections. Responses will be shared during the event. This private social mixer for current Film Fatales members will be a fully interactive session. Capacity is limited. Plan to show up as fully as if we were together in person.
Film Fatales members can log in to RSVP.
The event will not be recorded to create a safer space for participation. See you soon!LA Community Circle April
