The Cinefemme Director’s Collective is a cutting-edge network of female-identified and non-binary film and media directors who create boundary-breaking content through narrative and documentary storytelling. We are passionate about the craft of directing and are committed to raising the bar in our creative industries. The Collective’s regular meetings and events are dedicated to supporting creators with the goal of mutual mentorship and improving our craft.  

In 2017, the percentage of professionally working female directors dropped. We won’t allow that to happen again. Our intimate group meetings and ground-breaking events fosters a community of people to whom the industry can’t say no.

We are artists. We tell stories. We make whatever we want.

CINEFEMME DIRECTORS COLLECTIVE MEMBER REQUIREMENTS:

In order to join the Cinefemme Director's Collective at this time, qualified directors must have a director credit on short films, a feature, professional music videos, or high-quality web series in order to apply. Ideally, candidates have some or all of these requirements:  IMDB credits that reflect their work, film festivals in which their project has shown, three years of experience, and/or multiple high-quality projects.  Please note: As it is our intention to keep events and gatherings intimate, this group has limited capacity. We do our best to cultivate a diverse, cohesive, and exciting mess of folks who can best support one another.  Cinefemme Directors Collective Chapter Heads reserve the right to determine final admission into each chapter's group, and eligibility and application does not guarantee admission.

Candidates must be an official member of Cinefemme in good standing.

Members are expected to:

Volunteer and assist in coordinating meetings and events

Be engaged and active participants

Share resources and mentorship

Be excited about building our community

You get out of it what you put into it!
