Through the Parity Pipeline Initiative, Film Fatales connects underrepresented filmmakers with hundreds of production companies, funding organizations, agencies, film festival programmers, distributors and other industry allies.
We connect underrepresented filmmakers with career-changing opportunities and advocate for them along the way. We believe that your voice deserves to be heard, and we are committed to creating tangible ways to make that happen.
Our programming team serves as the connective tissue between Film Fatales members and hundreds of production companies, funding organizations, labs, incubators, agencies, film festival programmers, distributors and other industry decision-makers.
We’ve seen huge success with filmmakers acquiring funding for their films, finding festival premieres and distribution, and getting hired on directing jobs. Plus when a project is in the Parity Pipeline, it automatically qualifies for dozens of waivers and submission discounts.

We also work directly with filmmakers of all backgrounds to offer advice and put together strategic plans in any phase of production, including: creative feedback on screenplays or pitch materials; business consultations as you move into production; and strategic film festival and distribution advice.
