A Satirical Glimpse into Gender (Im)Balance

“Men who support Men who support Women in Finance” is a sharp, irreverent short film that exposes the absurd layers of performative allyship in male-dominated spaces. Written by Allison Bishop - comic and finnance world survivor - and set during an awards ceremony that claims to celebrate gender equity, the film invites viewers to reflect on how patriarchal systems often twist progress into parody.

Released as part of an online campaign for International Women’s Day, The MMWF uses humor to shed light on the challenges women still face in finance — and in many other industries where they remain outnumbered, overlooked, or tokenized.

This film doesn't point fingers — it holds up a mirror. With biting satire and theatrical flair, MMWF asks: what does true support look like?

Whether you're in finance, filmmaking, or just questioning the status quo, this short is a call to laugh, reflect, and imagine better.
