The Call Sheet 1.2

The Call Sheet emerges as a notable addition to the film magazine landscape, meticulously crafted through the collaboration of Cinema Femme and Camera Ambassador. Under the editorial leadership of Rebecca Martin Fagerholm, Managing Editor of Cinema Femme, this publication offers a fresh perspective on cinema through personal essays and interviews that resonate with readers on a deeper level.

The publication’s design is thoughtfully overseen by Creative Director Connor Smith of Camera Ambassador, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic that enhances the thematic experience of the magazine. The business acumen of Erica Duffy, Founder and CEO of Camera Ambassador, plays a crucial role in streamlining operations, allowing the creative vision to manifest into a polished product. This partnership between two influential femme-led film organizations culminates in a magazine that serves as an insightful guide to contemporary filmmaking.

The inaugural issue, titled “Healing Through Art,” encapsulates this vision beautifully. In their editorial note, the editors reflect on Aristotle's philosophy of performance as a form of catharsis—a notion that resonates through the content of this issue. They explore the multifaceted concept of healing as expressed through artistic creation. This issue represents not only a pleasurable collaboration among talented contributors and artists but also an invitation for readers to experience the remarkable cinematic talent flourishing in Chicago.

Through its first edition, The Call Sheet endeavors to foster a connection between art and healing, offering readers a profound exploration of these themes within the realm of cinema.
