Making Moves + Movies (MM+M) exists to champion and connect female and non-binary creatives working in film and video. During the year, activity was delivered across our four core pillars - in-person events, online community and content and knowledge sharing - supported by a growing network of regional and interest-based subcommunities. 1. In-person events - We ran our flagship Mixers (casual networking events, held quarterly), No Dumb Questions expert Q&A panels hosted by co-founders Izzy and Celia and our annual Community Showcase screening a curated selection of members' work. Feedback collected from members shows these events are the most highly valued part of the community: mixers and No Dumb Questions were named by the majority of respondents as initiatives they had found useful or enjoyed, and members specifically asked for these to happen more often and on a more predictable schedule - evidence that the format is working and in demand. 2. Online community - Our Discord server remained the primary hub for the community, used by the large majority of members surveyed, and was the single most-used initiative in member feedback. It provides a space for event promotion, job opportunities, peer support and sector-specific questions, and access to subcommunities. Our Instagram page supported this by sharing advice, tips and event information to a wider audience. 3. Content and knowledge sharing - We began development of a podcast spun out of No Dumb Questions, with 6 episodes in production, extending expert-led conversations to members unable to attend in person. 4. Community reach - Beyond the core programme, MM+M supported a number of member-led subcommunities addressing specific needs within the community, including regional groups in Brighton and Cornwall, a peer support circle, a group for mothers who are filmmakers, and a casting community. 5. Impact - We surveyed members directly on the value of the community's activities. All respondents confirmed that MM+M benefits them as a female/non-binary filmmaker, and the large majority felt the community is run in members' interests. Respondents cited the mixers, Discord, No Dumb Questions and Community Showcase as the initiatives providing the most value, describing the community as a source of professional connections, project collaborations, and a safe space to ask questions they might not otherwise feel able to ask. This feedback directly informed our plans for the coming year, including a more consistent events calendar, expansion of activity outside London, and new initiatives to address gaps identified by members, such as anonymous peer support channels and formal mentoring.
Members are the company's stakeholder group, and were consulted directly through a community-wide feedback survey issued via Discord and Instagram. The survey asked members whether the community benefits them, which initiatives they had found most useful or enjoyable, whether they felt the community was run in their interests, and what they would like to see done differently or more of. Responses were overwhelmingly positive: all respondents confirmed the community benefits them as a female/non-binary filmmaker, and the large majority felt it is run in members' interests. Members identified Discord, Mixers and No Dumb Questions as the most valued initiatives, and raised a number of constructive suggestions, including a more predictable events schedule, expansion of in-person activity beyond London, a formal mentoring scheme, member spotlight content, an anonymous channel for discussing sensitive topics such as freelance rates, and better use of existing tools such as Discord search. In response to this feedback, the company has committed to: setting a more regular schedule for Mixers; introducing member-spotlight content on Instagram; looking into whether our Speed Networking events could include role-specific pairings; and moving toward more frequent Community Showcase screenings. These actions are being carried into the coming year's activity plan.
