Something Real

Thank you for everyone who attended tonight, making the festival a great success! Everyone enjoyed the films and many of the attendees spoke to me about how moved they were by particular films. It was an honor to share these wonderful and expressive works.

I am pleased to announce the official selections for the Something Real film festival! I want to thank all of the filmmakers for their creativity, hard work and willingness to share their vision. It is my hope that these films will inspire and empower other women to be creative and expressive in their lives and for everyone to recognize the voices of women filmmakers.
