PANO and @abelcine celebrated the commencement of The Cinematographer’s Lab as we brunched and networked with the selected filmmakers from the 2023 Cohort, their peers, and the Lab instructors.
These filmmakers spent the past few weeks in Classes led by working professionals and covering a variety of skills, including the Canon Cinema EOS ecosystem, advanced cinema builds, camera movement for storytelling, narrative lighting and framing, single and multi-camera interviews, Resolve for DPs, and LUTs design and implementation, as well as production knowledge, crew management, and budgeting. Beyond these practical and classroom exercises, the program included discussions with industry creatives and networking opportunities.
Thank you to @abelcine for collaborating with us to uplift these cinematographers, and thank you @canonusa for powering this workshop. Congratulations to our first cohort! We can’t wait to see the work to come.

THIS WEEK! Marilyn Horowitz will lead filmmakers and storytellers through her new creativity and a time-management technique known as Word of the Day - an effective practice to generate and recognize story ideas, organize and structure those ideas, and explore the characters in your story in a short period of time. Participants will be asked to use pen/pencil and paper (not typing, for example) to harness your mind-body intentions.

As we enter our 7th year in operation, much has changed within the organization. What started as a small in-person meet-up in a room at NYU has grown to a thriving network of over 6k filmmakers. With this rapid growth, we at NYC Women Filmmakers (NYCWF) started to feel that our current name was a bit limiting. In an effort to better encompass our unique brand and offerings, we’ve debuted a new name and logo for 2022.
PANO, from panoramic / panorama, reflects our commitment to the wide spectrum of artists we serve – above and below the line, women, non-binary, and GNC folks. We hope that in this new name you will feel reflected, included, and proud to be a part of our community.
