the film grrls

This morning there was a gathering of local women filmmakers, right here on Rosedale Avenue. There were editors, writers, directors, producers. Some of us make tv shows, some make documentaries, others are into narratives and a few do all of the above.

We talked about our project status, distribution, the good and not so good parts of indie filmmaking, how to get funding, how do your work even when you don't get funding and we kvetched a bit, too.

We told our stories, listened to each other, and nodded in agreement, a lot. We've all been "there".

I don't when people started using the word grrls for girls...but sometimes it just fits, like today, with the film grrls.
