NYWIFT Fall Shorts Festival

NYWIFT Fall Shorts Festival



Description:

New York Women in Film & Television was founded in 1977 by a handful of women who saw a pressing need in New York for a networking and education forum for women in the entertainment industry. 40 years later, NYWIFT’s diverse membership is now more than 2,200 strong, made up of women and men who work in all aspects of television, film and digital media, from behind-the-scenes to in front of the camera to the executive suite.

As part of our 40th anniversary celebration, NYWIFT has partnered with Indevue to showcase the work of our talented membership through our first-ever online film festival. Members are invited to submit their short films, TV pilots and webisodes to the NYWIFT Fall Shorts Festival, which will run online for public viewing November 1st - 17th, 2017. Join us in celebrating 40 years of Women Calling the Shots!
