In honor of International Equal Pay Day, we want to highlight the pay disparity that still permeates our industry. Overall in 2020, women earned 84% of what men earned, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers. Based on this estimate, it would take an extra 42 days of work for women to earn what men did in 2020. Even worse, The Conversation did a comparison of the highest-paid male and female actors revealed an average salary of $57.4 million for men and $21.8 million for women. That means that top female actors earn 38% as much as the top male actors. International Equal Pay Day, celebrated today, on the 18th of September, represents the longstanding efforts towards the achievement of equal pay for work of equal value. Join us in bringing awareness as we continue towards closing this pay gap. #internationalequalpayday #wagegap #womeninfilm

Last month Pano celebrated the launch of our newest program, Pano Pairs!
Instead of traditional mentorship programs where there is an implied hierarchy, we’ve opted for an accessible approach inspired by successful mentorships — a mutually beneficial experience where both partners support each other equally in their endeavors. To that end, we’ve done away with the mentor and mentee titles. Instead, everyone participating is the same, one half of a Pano Pair.
Our first round of Pano Pairs spent the night networking with other Pairs while toasting to our new beginnings. Thank you to all of the members participating in our program so far. If you are interested in applying for our next round of Pano Pairs, be on the lookout for more info only on the #panonetwork #panopairs #mentorship

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.
