Female Festival Testimonial – October 5 2018

Catherine Haun

My film screened in Toronto to a full house. An unknown audience member contacted me off of the film’s webpage to share reactions. AND there was a thoughtful in-depth discussion on the pod-cast that is associated with this festival. The focus on feedback was worth the wait, and I would definitely submit here again. From a film maker’s perspective, this festival is best at helping an unknown project gain a social media presence, and this is very valuable. Thanks you guys!

The irony of this festival is that its goal is to not be around in 5 years time. To eventually not be relevant because there is zero need to have a festival geared for female talent and female stories because the stories presented in Hollywood and around the world are a balanced showcase of the human experience from both sexes. Our goal is to achieve a lot of success and then fold into oblivion simply because there is no need for this festival. This festival was created by the FEEDBACK Film & Writing Festival as a simple reaction to a strong need to showcase female talent from around the world in a more profound way. When putting together the weekly festival, the administration noticed a lack of a female presence in the stories being shown at the festival. A classic example and analogy to the frustration is how the festival noticed that even the smaller roles in a screenplay were written for a man to play. There was zero reason for this in many stories. How a police officer, or a political campaign manager, for example with 3-4 lines in a screenplay was a "HE" character. Why? And these are the screenplays written by the winners! The talented one who have obtained agents and have began/beginning their careers as a writer.
