Organized by

600 Black Women

Our event is a joyous celebration of the strength and determination of our members. Each June we come together to enjoy workshops, trainings, lectures, networking, and community building events as one. We will be in conversation with top film companies, rental houses, camera makers, industry juggernauts, and one another. The goal of the weekend is to open doors through education, connection, and conversation. Our ultimate goal is to provide an annual scholarship to qualifying mentees so they can become Local 600 members, and to award grants to current members to assist in funding their future projects. This support will positively impact the lives of our members and mentees while reshaping the film and television industry.
