Film Fatales for Parity and Inclusion

Film Fatales is a non profit group, formed in which supports an inclusive community of hundreds of women and non-binary feature film and television directors nationwide.

Each month, Film Fatales organizes panels and networking mixers where filmmakers can discuss their projects, share resources, and advance their careers. The goal is to raise the visibility of marginalized directors and increases the talent pool for industry organizations, programmers and production companies looking to work with more underrepresented voices by recommending directors for jobs, grants, labs, screenings, and other opportunities. By expanding the landscape of storytelling, Film Fatales continues to bring exciting new films to the screen.

Founded by director Leah Meyerhoff, Film Fatales advocates for parity in the film industry and supports a membership community of over a thousand feature film and television directors of all marginalized genders. The group is formed of a large number of formidable and successful directors, and serves to support each other.

Lynn Birdwell, who also serves as the Executive Producer of Bird House Productions, is proud to have been qualified and accepted as a member of Film Fatales.
