PANO (formerly NYCWF)

A wider view of talent in the film industry

12/26/2025

Dearest PANO Community,

Thank you. As we said at the Wrap Party — the best thing about PANO is, and has always been, the people. YOU are what make this a special organization, and you are who will continue the work into the next decade and beyond!

Though PANO is closing its doors, the impact we’ve had and the community we’ve built doesn’t go away. We know that you will continue hiring and inspiring each other, long after PANO has faded from memory.

Our final request - Carry the values and ethos of PANO with you as you move through your career. Remember what we’ve built here, and as you advance, reach back and help the next generation of filmmakers, so that we may leave this industry better than we found it.

Thank you. It’s been an incredible decade of impact, and we couldn’t be prouder of what this network was, is, and will become.

With love and respect,
Lauren & Cidney
Co-Presidents, PANO
