OUR MISSION
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission at MOM Film Fest is to serve as a
career development and advocacy resource for moms working in film and television.
With initiatives that create returnships for moms re-entering the workforce and supportive childcare solutions, we work to amplify the visibility of content made by moms in order to create job opportunities that will get #momsbackonset.
As a team of diverse filmmaker moms, we’ve experienced racism and gender bias. We’re fighting for diversity, equity, and inclusion for all moms, and also to empower the women who are still mothering in the shadows.

MOM FILM FEST 2022 EVENT LIST:
PANEL DISCUSSION:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19th at 3pm EDT
In partnership with Center for Intersectional Media & Entertainment (CIME), our panel discussion will focus on the depiction of mothers in media and how it relates to the way moms are treated in society from erasure of identity to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Be sure to mark your calendars and join us on our Facebook page.
NETWORKING MIXER:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19th at 7pm EDT
Come mix, mingle, and hang with other moms and creatives working in film and entertainment during our networking happy hour. We’ll provide some fun, chat, and there may even be music. You provide your drink of choice and readiness to make connections. This industry is all about who you know and you just might meet your next collaborator! Register here.
WRITERS’ WORKSHOP:
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20th at 10am-1pm EDT
The first several pages of a script must be able to do one thing: grab the reader’s attention. During this workshop, we will dissect the first 5 pages of a screenplay and take a deep dive into the elements that make it standout. We will use this time to work on our scripts and see how we can improve upon our opening pages. Join us on this ‘playdate’ as we have fun in our creative sandboxes while playing with words and ideas in a safe space. Learn More About Laura and Register Here.
