Join Film Fatales for an online discussion about how to launch a successful awards campaign. For Your Consideration highlights Gotham Award winning and Spirit Award nominated director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović (Murina), Oscar nominated director Rintu Thomas (Writing With Fire), and Spirit Award-winning and Gotham-nominated producer Mynette Louie (I Carry You With Me).

Awards matter in raising the visibility of films for a mainstream audience, introducing new cultural perspectives and ultimately shaping the world in which we live. In the past 94 years, only three women have won an Oscar for Best Director and only seven have been nominated. Come hear from filmmakers who have directed or produced feature films that have been nominated for, or won, Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, and Academy Awards.

About Us

We recommend underrepresented creators for jobs, funding and distribution opportunities through our Parity Pipeline initiative and amplify marginalized voices through our weekly Speaker Series about craft, the creative process, and the push towards parity on screen and off. We continue to raise the visibility of marginalized directors by highlighting their work in our Streaming Library and beyond.
