Welcome to NYWIFT Talks, a weekly series to bring updated news and vital information about the impact of COVID-19 on the media and entertainment industry. Industry professionals will be in conversation discussing what you need to know about theatrical releases, digital advances, virtual tools, festival opportunities, production updates and more.

Join us this week for a conversation with Founder of Film Fatales, Leah Meyerhoff. We will be discussing Film Fatales, what their life during COVID has been like, and how they continue to support women in the industry.

Film Fatales supports an inclusive community of women feature film and television directors who meet regularly to share resources, collaborate on projects and build an environment in which to make their films. Film Fatales advocates for gender equality within the film industry by hosting panel discussions, educational workshops, networking events and screening series to promote the work of women filmmakers to a wider audience.
