Changing the Ratio Emmys

Join us for an in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood as we celebrate with like-minded folks interested in amplifying underrepresented voices during the Emmys. We’ll have some light bites, great music, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Co-hosted by AWFC, Film Fatales, ReFrame and WIF.

Changing the Ratio is a cross disciplinary networking event for industry professionals celebrating women and gender expansive filmmakers and below the line crew. As the Emmys are approaching, our focus is to shine a light on some of the amazing projects and their creators from this year as we come together for a night of industry conversation and networking with professional filmmakers, crew, and influential industry decision-makers.

We look forward to celebrating all of Film Fatales members nominated for Emmy Awards this year!

Why Now

With the current underrepresentation of women and non-binary creatives across technical and craft categories - from directors to composers, cinematographers, VFX and editors - our collective goal with this event is to carve out and occupy shared space. As film award season is underway, this event will highlight members across our organizations who have the potential to be nominated and considered for awards.

The Alliance For Women Film Composers is a community of composers and colleagues who strive to support and celebrate the work of women and non-binary composers through advocacy and education. This visibility is important to herald in equality amongst our industry and bring diverse voices to film, television, video games and multimedia projects globally. We are proud to host the first ever directory of women film composers allowing filmmakers and decision makers the opportunity to discover new talent.

Film Fatales is a 501(c)3 arts organization and talent discovery platform which supports a membership community of over two thousand feature film and television directors of all marginalized genders. We advocate for hiring equality and inclusive programming practices by working with key decision makers to expand the talent pool, raise the visibility of underrepresented creators and build an equitable film industry for us all. 

ReFrame was founded and led by Sundance Institute and WIF (formerly known as Women In Film, Los Angeles). It is an initiative that employs a unique strategy: a peer-to-peer approach, in which ReFrame Ambassadors engage with senior industry decision-makers at over 50 Partner Companies to implement ReFrame systemic change programs.

Founded in 1973 as Women in Film, Los Angeles, WIF has been fighting for gender equity for more than 50 years. Its advocacy, career programs, and research efforts are a driving force for increasing gender representation in Hollywood. WIF works to dismantle gender bias in the screen industries by building the pipeline, sustaining careers, and advocating for change.

Film Fatales organizes panel discussions, educational workshops and networking mixers focused on amplifying marginalized voices in film and television. Capacity is limited. The session will be recorded for those unable to participate in the live program.
