Join our Bettermode Community

How it works

1. Our Bettermode communities are online, invitation-only spaces for people to come together who want to create a more inclusive screen production industry.
   
   In our Focus Forward and Inclusive Screen Bettermode communities you will find:

   - Information about future meetings

   - Notes and recordings of past meetings

   - Helpful resources

   - We plan to add more features soon!
