Guest Post: Women Filmmakers and Screenwriters At The Action on Film Film Fest ...
Melissa Silverstein is a writer, blogger and marketing consultant with an expertise in the area of social media regarding women and Hollywood. She is the founder and editor of Women and Hollywood, one of the most respected sites for issues related to women and film as well as other areas of pop culture. She is the Artistic Director and co-founder of the Athena Film Festival – A Celebration of Women and Leadership at Barnard College in NYC. The second annual festival will take place from February 9-12, 2012.. When it comes to film festivals, I’ve been around the block, having won awards and received nominations in over 60 international screenplay competitions and labs.Some are cold and cliquey. Some are fun but fleeting. Some are total sausage fests. From the panels to the screenings, you wonder, where are all the women filmmakers and screenwriters?
I know one place they head every July: The Action on Film International Film Festival in Pasadena, CA.
According to the AOF’s founder Del Weston, this year’s festival (July 22-30) will boast over 50 projects directed by women, counting the movies, shorts, music videos, and writers’ series.
The AOF has three awards specifically for women directors, on top of six other directing categories for both men and women.
If that’s not enough, about half of the screenwriting awards are won by women every year.
Christopher Canole , the AOF Writers Awards Show Master of Ceremonies, confirms this incredible statistic for women screenwriters. He says, “as memory serves, at least one woman was nominated in every one of the 22 categories last year, and won or was first runner-up in 14 categories.”
Del Weston says, “Women represent so much of the industry that it is a shame when you don’t see them getting the same opportunities to direct as their counterparts. Our goals are to not only recognize and encourage female directors, writers, producers, and stars, but to assist them along the way with as much support as we offer any other group associated with the AOF Festival and the AOF Channel.”
That’s right. There’s an AOF Channel that aired thirteen 30-minute episodes of “The Action on Film Show” in the lucrative Los Angeles market, on NBC-LA after Saturday Night Live (starting March 12, 2011). NBC-LA reaches over six million households and is the second largest television market in the U.S. Women filmmakers were highlighted and interviewed on this show.
