About

Film Fatale Productions is an all-female production team committed to working on projects
that examine/explore/depict/deconstruct modern concepts of gender.
Founded by Jeanine Corbet and recently joined by Sally Polizzi and Lauren Ramos,
Film Fatale is currently in production on two new documentaries.

Jeanine Corbet is a self-taught filmmaker who began working in Super-8 and video using experimental techniques to portray subjects that originated from her work as an activist in the early 90's. Her early works were inspired by the films of Lizzie Borden, Maya Deren, Werner Penzel, Sue Friedrich, Monika Treut and the cinema of the European neo-realists. Her body of work has addressed such subjects as women's relationship to violence, the sex trade, street harassment, vigilantism, teen pregnancy, reproductive freedom and female fighters. She directed produced and edited several videos for the NYC all women punk band the Lunachicks - her video for the song "Edgar" ranked #1 on the CMJ chart for best rock video upon its release. She has also created promotional videos for "the Eggmobile" a latin rock opera and "Kurland Bonica and Associates" an LGBT law firm.

Sally Polizzi and Lauren Ramos are both recent graduates of the Cinema Studies department at the College of Staten Island. Besides acting, directing, producing and editing countless student videos the duo garnered first prize at the CSI Student Film Fest for their piece "Any Way the Wind Blows" which deals with the issues of the hearing impaired and their struggles to fit in. Sally has also worked on the short film "Jo-Jo is a Dogs Name" written and directed by Kenneth Hanes and has directed "Box the Compass" an original play written by Beth McNelis. Lauren has a passion for feminist film criticism and plans to pursue an M.A. with that focus in mind.
