Less Networking. More Filmmaking.
Vandalist Media and Dreamy Mango Studios are back for the fifth Fade to Black - a short film collective happening monthly in Avondale!
For our last event of 2026, we’re showcasing a special screening of Fade to Black's second short film "Trapped By My Voice". This film was made possible by past attendees to our previous networking and writing events! Let's support the special community we're working hard to foster.
Fade to Black isn't your typical networking event. It's a space for Chicago filmmakers to meet collaborators, share ideas, with the goal of actually making more and more short films.
From gritty thrillers to experimental narratives, we're building a community of creatives who value making films—not just talking about them. Whether you're an industry professional, an emerging filmmaker, or simply curious about getting involved, you're welcome here.
Come meet like-minded people, check out film showcases, hear our vision for what's next, and be part of a growing collective focused on bold, character-driven storytelling.
What to Expect:
🎬 Film showcases
🤝 Networking & collaboration
🎵 Music & good conversation
Limited capacity. Sliding-scale donations help support future events and productions.
Whether you made it to past events or you're new to the room—writers, actors, directors, and crew are all welcome.
