We are back with another great season! 

This episode Tammy has a fun conversation with co-directors Charlie Gillette and Sara Metcalf about their short film Versace Softboi, a personal tale about stalking and inherent dangers of women in the online dating world. The film is an official selection at the New Voices Film Festival and Brooklyn Horror Film Festival.

Ravit Markus, director-producer of NINA, the 2023 NYWIFT Loreen Arbus Disability Awareness Grant winner, is in our Spotlight segment. Janine McGoldrick, co-producer of the film, chats with Ravit regarding the film’s development and how the grant has helped her post-production.

Tammy and Janine also discuss the current industry strikes and the NYWIFT resource page for those affected, the Emmys postponement, Drew Barrymore backlash and Covid cancellations. Also, Katie’s Korner highlights NYWIFT’s new Masterclass Series.
