BEST OF: Women's Weekend Film Challenge (Or How a Short Film Contest is Attempting to Change the Industry)

The Lensrentals Podcast

Ally is joined by Katrina Medoff and Tracy Sayre who are the executive co-directors of the Women's Weekend Film Challenge which is a women-in-film initiative that places professional filmmakers on crews that write, shoot and edit a short film in just one weekend. Through the WWFC, they have produced 24 films to date with more than 500 professional female filmmakers in New York City. These films have already been selected for 60 film festivals and counting, including the HBO Women in Comedy Festival and Fantasia Film Festival.
