Hey hey, friends and family -

We are BACK with your monthly dose of artistic goodness!! Hope everyone is having a fruitful summer. As back-to-school vibes replaces summertime relaxation, we have not stopped scheming and dreaming on our creative projects and community events!! Lots of fun stuff in the next couple of months, so whether you’re a creative, a cinema lover, or a community donor, we hope you find something here that you’re into<3

Lots of love,

Imani, Jamie, & Julia

TONIGHT!

TONIGHT!

It’s Imani’s birthday (well, tomorrow is anyways) and she’s throwing a party in Los Angeles TONIGHT!! Join her for an evening of casino themed games and some classic mixing ‘n mingling. And if you’re feeling generous… we’re raising a little money for the upcoming short film “Traveling Discreetly at the Desert Rose Casino”!!!

BRUNCH

IT UP

WITH THE

FILM GIRLZ

Join us for our September edition of Film Girlz Brunch Chicago!! We are partnering with the delicious Lost Never Found for a super special DRAG BRUNCH<3

​Notably, this spot is within walking distance to Landmark Century Centre Cinema, which is hosting Reeling Film Fest, in case any film girlz are headed over after!! Reeling is Chicago's international LGBTQ+ film fest so check out their schedule and see some queer film after brunch!

​RSVPs are limited for this one, and there are cancellation fees, so PLEASE make sure to update your reservation if you're no longer able to make it. If you've never been to one of our events, folks are responsible for the food they order - but you will only ever cover yourself! No surprises at the end!

​See you soon<3

It was a fabulous night filled with networking and community! Shout out to anyone who attended - the audience was super engaged with lots of great feedback and questions!! It was so cool to see some of our local filmmakers works in progress and hearing their creative processes. Chicago filmmakers are hard at work and DELIVERING!

ANOTHER
