MIND THE GAP IS CHANGING THE NARRATIVE THAT SHAPES OUR CULTURE
50/50 BY 2020By the year 2020, 50% of the films at Mill Valley Film Festival will be directed by women.
We will use our platform to celebrate women in the film industry, both in front of, and behind, the camera.

MIND THE GAP: CONNECTING WOMEN | FILM | TECHIn 2017, we connected over 200,000 film industry talent, Bay Area businesses, and audience members at sold-out full day seminars, in-home salons, premiere film screenings, industry receptions and film galas at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
It was priceless to get this kind of opportunity... for the tech community and
film community to mix.
Nora Poggi, filmmaker, She Started It
Truly highlighted topics we care about: female technologists
and visionaries.
