Le Anne Lindsay, SIFTMedia215 Affiliate Member & Social Media Manager,

I am not a filmmaker. Although, if I had followed my heart I would have become a film editor. And yes, I know people say it’s never too late… At any rate, I was invited to learn more about The SIFTMedia 215 Collective (Sisters in Film and Television) by one of its founding members, Nadine Patterson of Hip Cinema. I love what these women stand for, have accomplished and will accomplish, so I became an Affiliate Member, to help, promote, support, archive, learn and hopefully assist on film shoots!

Each member has her own page (bio/films) listed on the SIFT site, but I’m also cataloging updates of what the members are working on, screening, being awarded etc… below, as I receive info and notifications. These are just a few members highlighted. MORE TO COME…

Who are we?

SIFTMedia 215 is a support system of several independent media artists who work in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and provide a community of support for socially conscious women identified filmmakers. Our goal at SIFTMedia is to amplify the work and create opportunities for Black and Latinx Women content creators.
