With the cancellation of SXSW — and numerous other festivals and events — due to the coronavirus outbreak, many filmmaking teams are struggling. Money has been lost, not to mention a huge industry opportunity. Women and Hollywood understands how disappointing this situation is, and would like to help.
If your project has been affected by the cancellation of SXSW or another festival or event, and you’re crowdfunding or doing something else to recoup the costs or attend another event down the road, we want to help you amplify your campaign.
We’ll be publishing weekly crowdfunding features highlighting projects by and/or about women that have been impacted by a coronavirus-related cancellation.
To be considered for inclusion in this feature, please send an email to Laura Berger (berger.laurae@gmail.com) and Rachel Montpelier (raemontpelier@gmail.com) with Women and Hollywood – Special Crowdfunding Support Feature in the subject line. Please send us the following information:

- Writer/director/creator credits:
- A link to the crowdfunding page or other campaign:

The first submission deadline is 11:59 pm EST on Tuesday, March 17. We’ll then be accepting submissions on a rolling basis. All formats (features, shorts, web series, etc.) are welcome.
