Work-in-Progress: 93Queen

Follow Ruchie Freier, a diminutive, no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who is determined to provide dignified Emergency Medical Services to the Hasidic women and girls of Borough Park, Brooklyn.

Work-in-Progress: Facing the Dragon

The film follows a female parliament member fighting to secure the rights of Afghan women and an Afghan female journalist covering the volatile presidential elections.

Work-in-Progress: In the Game

In the Game follows the ups and downs of an Hispanic girls soccer team to reveal the impact that race, class, and gender has on life opportunities.

Work-in-Progress: The War to Be Her

Her home is “the most dangerous place on earth,” where sports are decried as un-Islamic and girls rarely leave their homes. But she did. She’s a world-renowned athlete and a flashpoint in her country’s battle over feminine identity.

Working Together to Make Change

Join the film fatales to discuss how they make films while making ends meet and how this community is helping women in the industry.
