About this event

Eager to meet creative collaborators? Excited to connect with like-minded artists?

Film Fatales members in Los Angeles are invited to an in-person mixer hosted by BECiNE with members of Alliance of Women Directors, Film Girlz Brunch, International Collective of Female Cinematographers, NYDF, Slmbr Party, and Women in Media. Sponsors will be present at the event with lenses to showcase on camera builds so that we can all check out different visual aesthetics. Drinks and light bites will be provided.

We will hear from representatives of participating groups, enjoy small bites, drinks, and explore the amazing lenses showcased by each of our lens vendors: Atlas Lens Co, BandPro, Cooke and Zeiss.

This is a celebration so if you want to get a little fancy, go for it! Capacity is limited. Kids are welcome. This is a private event for members only. No plus ones. We are so excited to have you all with us.

Accessibility Notes: The venue is fully wheelchair accessible. There is a parking lot on site. Masks are not required but please be mindful of the comfort of others and maintain a respectful distance. Contact la@filmfatales.org for an accessible accommodation.

See you soon!

This private networking mixer is for members of Film Fatales and partner organizations.

We are committed to creating a safe space where filmmakers can gather and support one another. Be respectful to other participants. Avoid assuming people’s needs, gender identities, and/or backgrounds. Creating an inclusive space requires acknowledging existing power dynamics. If you are from a dominant or privileged identity please practice making space, through listening, unseating yourself, and passing the mic. If you are from a historically marginalized group, please practice taking up space, sharing your ideas, and raising your voice. Thanks for joining us!
