Etheria 2018

Another great Etheria film festival has come and gone, celebrating women in genre film.

Lori Petty presented this year's Inspiration award, appropriately, to Rachel Talalay, with moving speeches from both. It was a perfect moment and got standing ovations.

Etheria offers networking for women involved in any aspect of genre film, above or below the line.  I've attended ever since my film "Shelter" was on the Etheria tour.

It was preceded by an excellent panel discussion and dinner with Women In Media, raising money for the Stephanie Rothman Fellowship, which was awarded at the Etheria screening. Women in Media's goal is to get women hired into below-the-line jobs in film.

As an extra treat, I met Lloyd (Long live the Toxic Avenger) AND Patricia Kaufman (formerly of the New York film commission). Such lovely people!

Weird Film Fest April 2 a success

The spring screening of the Weird Film Fest went smoothly and well at its new,  comfy quarters - PianoFight theater in downtown San Francisco.

This spring's program included films from Canada, France, Spain, Australia and the US of A, and a Q&A with filmmaker Devlin Clark, whose film "Heartless" - about a robot whose only friends in a hostile world are a trio of musical spheres - was full of heart.

Weird Film will return at Halloween time!
