Filmmaker friends, this one's for you! We're excited to shoutout a new connection we made at SWSW / SWSW EDU: Dolly Card! It's a prepaid Mastercard built for pre-production, on-set, and post-production expenses. It allows producers to issue cards to crew members and capture expenses at the point of sale, rather than requiring paper invoicing, cash or Venmo repayment, and manual expense tracking. Check them out! https://www.dollycard.com/
Thank you to all the Fedi friends who came to say hello at SXSW Edu! Jen and Hershawna, our Executive Director and our Director of Education, were thrilled to meet you.
We're pretty new to the Fediverse and our team is now convinced that it's a good thing that we are here -- so truly, from the heart, thank you for saying that's where you know us from! You just made it much easier for us to keep being here. We really, really appreciate your support.
Filmmakers, our booth is now closed but Jen and Hershawna will still be around at SXSW. If you're i Austin and you'd like to talk to them about what it's like to partner with us to create educational resources for your social impact film (or docuseries or educational game), let us know and we'll get you connected!

Leah is also an Impact Producer, a great person, and one of the hardest-working and smartest filmmakers I know. (And I know some brilliant filmmakers.)
Filmmakers, if you are looking for an accomplished impact producer for your narrative or documentary social impact film, talk to Leah. She's fantastic.

I've got a question for film people: I used to keep track of the Bechdel-Wallace Test and then the DuVernay Test and all their derivatives (for diversity and representation in film) and then the field exploded and I lost track.
What are the Representation Tests for film that you can recommend? (I appreciate links if you have them.)
Thank you!
UPDATE: Current list follows below! Thx to all who helped.
