A symposium bringing together five film initiatives in the region that work to empower, celebrate and elevate female-identifying and nonbinary folks in the film industry. HUDSY, Moonshot Initiative, Stockade Works, UPWIFT, and the Woodstock Film Festival will each present about their organizations, some of their past work, and the opportunities that each provides to engage with and encourage the continued expansion of diversity in the industry. We will end with a Q&A and some time for networking and connecting.
