LOS ANGELES, CA – Not Your Daddy’s Films, a trailblazing organization that empowers and educates women and non-binary filmmakers through screenings, panels, a podcast, and various other initiatives, is excited to announce its upcoming screening event on March 23rd. This isn’t your typical Hollywood affair- it’s an evening dedicated to celebrating the unique voices and perspectives that challenge the patriarchal norms of the film industry.

Hosted by Not Your Daddy’s Films’ hot new venue partner, The Whitley, also known as club King King, doors open at 6:30 PM and the screening kicks off at 7:00 PM. Guests can expect to enjoy a lineup of shorts by these visionary filmmakers:

  • Maegan Houang with In Full Bloom
  • Megan Chumbley presenting Power Glow Diamond Infused Metallic Face Mask
  • Milana Vayntrub’s Pickled Herring
  • Lucy Sandler showcasing Hush
  • Olive Nwosu’s captivating Egúngún
  • Sam Fox’s daring F’ckn Nuts

The screening will be complemented by a Q&A session, where attendees will get to hear from each filmmaker. Post-Q&A, the night doesn’t end yet, as the Daddys plan to celebrate into the night with an after party featuring a live DJ and exciting activations with brands soon to be announced!

Not Your Daddy’s Films is a community like no other, where competition is left at the door, and genuine connections are made. While the event is aimed at supporting and showcasing the work of women and non-binary filmmakers, it is open to all, because at NYDF, everyone is a Daddy regardless of gender, identity, or race. This inclusive approach creates an atmosphere where everyone can come together, learn from one another, and celebrate the diverse voices that make up the film industry.
