Lifetime’s Film Competition For Women
If you’re interested in submitting a film for Lifetime Movie Network’s Every Woman’s Film Competition, you better get cracking because the deadline is July 8, 2008. The grand prize is $5,000 in cash and valuable exposure for a talented woman filmmaker.
According to the Lifetime website:
If you win this competition, your movie will not only be viewed by celebrity judges but will also be shown at the Hamptons Film Festival and the Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Breakfast — and you’ll be attending both events as the special guest.
After quoting the disgraceful statistic that “women made up only 15% of all directors, executive producers, writers, cinematographers and editors working on the top 250 domestic grossing films,” the website had this to say:
Lifetime Movie Network — the only movie channel dedicated to women and the #2 network for women, second only to Lifetime — is working to change those statistics by offering you, the next generation of female filmmakers, the chance to be discovered.
Now if they can just get some of the males in Hollywood to hire some of that female talent they’d really be doing something.
