The Call Sheet Magazine Vol. 2
Introducing the latest edition of the groundbreaking magazine collaboration by Camera Ambassador and Cinema Femme.
Working closely with some of the city’s creatives, our magazine takes you behind the scenes on the filmmakers of today.
Through this unique partnership between two of Chicago’s leading femme-owned film organizations, our publication spotlights some of the raw and powerful talent emerging from the current filmmaking landscape.
Chicago IL: After a year of hard work getting Vol. 2 ready for distribution in January 2024, we are happy to extend an exclusive invitation to anyone following our publication for a limited pre-release on November 16th, 2023.
“We are so excited to share our next edition of The Call Sheet,” says Camera Ambassador Founder and CEO Erica Duffy, “Our vision for this volume is centered around the theme of Unconventional Superheroes and the importance of filmmakers, both behind the camera and onscreen.” Erica acts as the Publisher at The Call Sheet.
The writing staff, led by Cinema Femme’s Managing Editor Rebecca Martin Fagerholm, is composed of all femme and non-binary writers covering cinematic work. “At The Call Sheet, we elevate underrepresented voices so we may change how people see the industry, and not just from a bi-coastal perspective, but through the voices of filmmakers whose work takes place in a lot of “fly-over” areas of country such as Kansas, Michigan and Illinois,” remarks Rebecca, who acts as The Call Sheet’s Editor-in-Chief. “…I’m excited to elevate emerging filmmakers, their work, and their voices. It is a joy to have a platform like this one.”
