eTradeWire News/10686306
DALLAS - eTradeWire -- Women in Film Dallas will celebrate female filmmakers around the globe at the 21st Annual Topaz Film Festival and Awards Ceremony. The festival will take place October 20-23, 2022. Submissions are now being accepted through July 1 via FilmFreeway.
For twenty-one years, Women in Film Dallas has provided a platform for independent women filmmakers to promote their work through the Topaz Film Festival and is currently the only female focused festival in Texas. Executive Director Connie Lo Ferrara says it is more important than ever to nurture the rise of women in the film industry in various roles. "It is important for Women in Film Dallas to continue to live up to our mission statement which is to empower, promote and mentor female filmmakers," Ferrara explains. "Recently in DFW, which traditionally is a very corporate media heavy hub, we are feeling and seeing a resurgence of creative narrative storytelling starting to happen here again. There is a large roster of incredibly talented women taking up all kinds of positions in the industry, and we want to continue to provide a platform to showcase these amazing women. These women are role models to other up and coming female filmmakers and serve as an example of what is possible, and what they can do."
