: About Us
The chief business of film festivals is discovering emerging artists,
presenting alternative points of view, platforming films and filmmakers
that have strong enough legs to secure domestic and world wide
distribution. OR AT LEAST THEY SHOULD!
Film Festivals and their events have become a lucrative and powerful
advertising tool and some support particular groups. Our goal is to
remain a step ahead of our competition through exemplary programming,
networking, and panel events. A classic professional atmosphere will
create a sense of 'opportunity' for participants. Our operating credo
is: "By Women for Everyone."

The main objectives of the festival are:
» To Platform new emerging talent and support established women in
cross-over roles.
» Capitalize on and support the upward growth potential in the downtown
