"MoviesByWomen.com was initially called 50/50 Summit which was an outgrowth of the 50/50 Women Filmmaker's Summit which occurred in April, 2000. The mission of the group was to attain equality for women in film and television, and all media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide, in perpetuity.

By calling attention to past women directors we seek to write the true history of filmmaking. 5050summit.com changed names in the summer 2002 to the far more digestable name of MoviesByWomen.com. We are not a formal organization, but rather an informal group using the internet to increase awareness of our mission.

Our Strategic Goals are to increase the number of women directors working in film, television or other media; to build audiences for women directed films; to increase awareness of women's contributions to film and television history; to develop a community that will increase employment opportunities for women in entertainment.
