It was founded in 2016 by Scott Menzel, Scott Mantz, and Ashley Menzel after noting Los Angeles only had one film critic organization. Its purpose is to be a critics group that is diverse and supports underrepresented voices and they are the first critics group to separate directing honors by gender. "There has been so much conversation about the power of female filmmakers and we wanted to embrace it," said Scott Mantz. They also have a film discussion podcast called "Film Critics Weekly" on the online broadcasting network, "Popcorn Talk" to further their goals of creating "a film critics group that would openly discuss film throughout the year and not just during award season".
