Join Film Fatales for an in-person gathering during SXSW on Saturday March 8th 8am CT  in support of filmmakers of all marginalized genders and those interested in amplifying underrepresented voices in the industry to make connections and build their network. Co-hosted by AEB, AWFC and WIFTA.   During ATX's spring festival season 2025, the Alliance for Women Film Composers , All Entertainment Business, Film Fatales, and Women in Film & TV Austin are co-hosting a dynamic event that celebrates collaboration, inclusion, and progress in the entertainment industry. The gathering will bring together producers, directors, composers, music supervisors, investors, and business leaders to foster meaningful connections and promote gender parity across creative and business sectors. This event is for everyone who values innovation, collaboration, and access to top-tier talent. We all play a critical role in shaping a more inclusive entertainment industry, and this is a unique opportunity to connect with diverse voices and expand your network. Despite making up nearly half of film school graduates, women hold less than 20% of key behind-the-scenes roles in top-grossing films and account for only 7% of composers in film and television, and only 6% of directors. Organizations like AWFC, Film Fatales, and AEB are working to change this narrative by providing mentorship, resources, and platforms that empower underrepresented voices. A key focus of this event will be showcasing resources to help attendees identify and connect with qualified gender diverse talent, enabling industry professionals to hire inclusively and build diverse teams that enhance creativity and innovation. Sponsored by ShotDeck with beverages from Tequila 512 and Good Night Loving Vodka. Limited street parking is available, rideshares are encouraged. 21+ See you soon!
