Festival Newsletter November 2008

Thank you so much for your support of The Baltimore Women's Film Festival.

We had a great 2nd year event last month. If you attended the festival, thank you coming and we hope you had a great time. Also we wanted to thank all the wonderful and brilliant filmmakers who attended.  Thank you for sharing your work with us, we had GREAT responses to all of the films at this year's festival.

We outdid last year's donation to The Johns Hopkins Avon Breast Cancer Center this year! We are really thrilled about that, and it is in part thanks to the support of our attendees, sponsors, advertisers, volunteers and participating filmmakers. So thank you all. We are so grateful because we couldn't have done it without you all.

On Sunday October 26th, we announced the 2008 Festival Award Winners at our Award Winners Reception at PAZO (photo below). Thanks to all the judges who generously dedicated their time judging this year.
