Changing The Ratio: A Celebration Of Gender Diversity In Media

During ATX's spring festival 2025 on International Women's Day, the Alliance for Women Film Composers (AWFC), All Entertainment Business (AEB), Film Fatales, and Women in Film & TV Austin are co-hosting a dynamic event that celebrates collaboration, inclusion, and progress in the entertainment industry. The gathering will bring together producers, directors, composers, music supervisors, investors, and business leaders to foster meaningful connections and promote gender parity across creative and business sectors. This event is for everyone who values innovation, collaboration, and access to top-tier talent. We all play a critical role in shaping a more inclusive entertainment industry, and this is a unique opportunity to connect with diverse voices and expand your network. Despite making up nearly half of film school graduates, women hold less than 20% of key behind-the-scenes roles in top-grossing films and account for only 7% of composers in film and television, and only 16% of directors. Organizations like AWFC, Film Fatales, and AEB are working to change this narrative by providing mentorship, resources, and platforms that empower underrepresented voices. A key focus of this event will be showcasing resources to help attendees identify and connect with qualified gender diverse talent, enabling industry professionals to hire inclusively and build diverse teams that enhance creativity and innovation. The program will feature engaging panels, networking opportunities, and creative entertainment moments designed to inspire action and collaboration. Who’s Invited? Open to all industry professionals, creatives, and allies passionate about advancing gender equality in media. More Info below.
