"terroir" has been accepted to Porto Femme International Film Festival in Porto, Portugal for October 6-10, 2020. This is particularly exciting since Dawn Westlake's very first film ("Mini Driver Project") was made in Porto twenty years ago!

"terroir" is a musical documentary about the mother-child relationship and how it can sometimes influence our perceptions of very capable female leaders in all sectors of society. Helmed/written and produced by Dawn Westlake under her Ron de Cana Prods, Inc. shingle, the film was shot by Pol Carrizo Vilarroig of Imatge Barcelona in Wheaton & Peru, IL USA, Font Romeu, France and Vilafranca del Penedes, Catalunya, Spain. Pol also edited and did the considerable visual effects for the film. GC Johnson of Acoustic Labs composed the original score and coached Westlake's voice.

4-yr-old Lilly Johnson made her professional acting debut in "terroir".

"terroir" has won 7 awards: 3 in Italy, 2 in India, and others in Colombia and the USA.
