What is the Coffee Date Challenge?

Starting March 4th you will get 10 days of getting to know as many members as possible with a quick online coffee date.

The winner will not only have met many of our incredible members all over the world, she will also receive the book:
'Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image' By Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg which we will send over to you.

Members can message other members privately and schedule in 10 days (4-14th March) as many online coffee dates as possible.

Members propose a 10-15min zoom chat to get to know more about each other. Perhaps you have a deliberate question for the other person about her profession or advice she could give you. This is the perfect moment to ask! 

On November 12th the member who met the most FFC Members will receive the book 'Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image' By Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg and the title: Winner of the Coffee Date Challenge 2023

The challenge is open to all FFC Members, so whether you're in the Networking Space or Members Club, you can all DM each other and set up a quick coffee challenge. 

1. Grow you network from the comfort of your home (no arranging baby sitters or wear heels required).
   
2. Meet your film sister from across the world. Need accountability, advice, support, inspiration? Our members club gives you access to all that and more.
   
3. Possibility to meet 100+ female filmmakers for less than a coffee (The Networking Space is free to join before we start!).
   
4. We know how tiring 'real life' networking can be; speaking for hours with someone you don't click with, how do you choose who to talk to, how do you even start? In this challenge you'll be guided through it all, and know that our members are all in together.
   
5. No awkward follow-ups. After IRL networking you should decide how to follow up after you've received their business card? A corporate email or a like on their Insta? In the FFC it all starts with a DM, it's like the LinkedIn for Creatives, you'll then can keep following up via DM and will see each other in the FFC's events throughout the year so you'll never have to 'actively' follow up to keep reminding them of your existence ;).
   
6. Connect & learn from members who have overcome the challenges you're facing now.
   
7. You don't have to travel anywhere.
   
8. You don't need to buy a coffee for the meeting.
   
9. You can meet for 15 min only
   
10. Did we mention you can join the Networking Space for free.
