Members are invited to self-complete an individual profile page on the Film Fatales website. This searchable directory is used by industry allies and other members to hire directors and other crew.
Our monthly keeps filmmakers up-to-date on the latest events, grants, labs, incubators, and film festival deadlines. Pro and Maverick members also receive the Parity Pipeline Newsletter full of exclusive submission discounts. Past filmmakers have saved literally thousands of dollars in submissions thanks to our discounts.
All members are invited to the private Film Fatales network to connect with other members and continue to build community. Who knows, you may find your next collaborator.
Pro and Maverick members are eligible for direct Film Fatales recommendations for grants, labs, screenings, and more. Depending on the opportunity, we may even connect you directly with the key decision maker. Thanks to our recommendations, scores of members have been hired for directing jobs, received grants, and had their films screen worldwide.
When Pro and Maverick members release a film, they receive complimentary promotion in our newsletter and on our social media platforms. With a social reach of 100K+ and a newsletter reach of 10K+, we help our members’ films get seen.
Pro and Maverick members gain access to a variety of exclusive discounts, including for IMDbPro, production equipment, industry software and more.
Pro members can add one complimentary project to the Parity Pipeline, a searchable database of projects in all stages of development that industry professionals use to find projects to fund, screen, and distribute. Maverick members can add an unlimited number of projects.
For accessible rates, we offer all members hands-on consultations to offer advice and put together strategic plans in any phase of production, including: creative feedback on screenplays or pitch materials; business consultations as you move into production; and strategic film festival and distribution advice. Maverick members receive one consultation for free.
