• mamafilm is a niche film series that creates a destination for mamas to be entertained,
inspired, supported and connected.
• Through on-screen storytelling, mamafilm explores and amplifies the evolving
experiences and perspectives of motherhood, and builds bridges amongst a vast
community of people who are united via our societal role as nurturer.
• Because we live in an age where we can talk about stigmas and expectations, collective
viewing of stories that depict maternal scenarios bind us through the fundamental
reminder that the challenges and triumphs of caring for another are universal.
• mamafilm’s media selections will be followed by conversation with creators , experts
and real life mamas, that will examine the individual and collective realities of “modern
mamahood.”
• mamafilm is committed to representing the reality of a diverse range of mamas, across
race, class, geography, sexual preference, ability and generation; and to supporting the
work of creators, who are also nurturers.

traditional roles. They are defined by the love and care that they give.vision: connecting mamas through shared cinematic experience

for-profit status. This will allow us the opportunity to apply for community-building and
artistic exhibition grants, cultural funds and to offer corporate and individual donors a
tax-deductible receipt, as well as to serve as an incubator for similarly-aligned projects.
• mamafilm is purposely designed as a portable experience, to include the widest variety
of nurturers we can.
• After its launch as a microcinema film series, mamafilm will seek partnership with other
like-minded organizations throughout the community and across the country to
facilitate destinations for connectivity.
• Collaborating organizations will include parenting groups, brands, other non-profit
organizations, art house cinemas, movie theaters and more. Together, we will grow a
network of nurturers and caregivers who are connected through media and
conversation.

exemplifies our mission, to foster and showcase their work through our exhibition
channels.*our audience: decision makers + influencers + caregivers

Our post-film conversations will cover a multitude of questions, topics and issues
pertaining to modern motherhood, for example:
• What does it mean to be a “mama,” or choosing not to be one?
• What connects and separates us as nurturers?
• How do we band together in support of one another?
• How do we deal with ever-changing expectations, responsibilities and
conventions?
• How do we process the simultaneous feelings of joy and pain, insecurity and
accomplishment, coupled with overwhelming fear, and love?
• How do we maintain our essential self-care?
• How does technology continue to change our obligations to the young?
• How do we handle the responsibilities of caring for the old?
• How do we pass on the valuable lessons of the past as they relate to
contemporary culture?
• How do we unite to create an informed generation of thought leaders,
changemakers and mamas of the future?
• And SO MUCH MORE.
mamafilm will partner with local organizations and humans who connect directly to
the mission and to the content themes, to help steer the conversations.about us: the organization + the founder Conceived in 2018, after a combined 25+ years experience - in the film exhibition field and as a mama of two -Lela Meadow-Conner decided to combine her passions (or the two things she spends most of her time doing) to create a platform that connects nurturers and caregivers around the world, through on-screen storytelling, In February 2019, mamafilm began the process of incorporating as a non-profit arts organization.
