Gamechanger Films is an American company that finances independent films directed by women.[1]

History

Gamechanger Films was founded in 2013 by Julie Parker Benello, Dan Cogan, Geralyn Dreyfous, Wendy Ettinger. Mynette Louie was the President, Derek Nguyen was the Director of Operations & Creative Affairs, and Mary Jane Skalski is the senior adviser. Louie and Nguyen departed to start their own company, The Population, in 2019. Brenda Robinson is a new partner in Gamechanger Films 2.0, which is led by Effie T. Brown.

Films funded must be directed or co-directed by a woman, but they may be of any genre.[2] Films do not need to be focused on females or female-centric topics.[3] They support films of a budget of $2 million or less.[4] Funding was raised by Chicken & Egg Pictures and Impact Partners and comes from equity investors. Gamechanger Films is for-profit.[5] Louie said that their goal "is to finance films that are critically and commercially viable".[6] As a result of this, they do not fund experimental non-narrative films.[7] In 2014, they established a $2500 grant for female directors who screen their films at South by Southwest.[8]
