The Festival seeks to encourage emerging voices of independent filmmakers, a focus that has attracted the attention of a number of filmmaking notables, including Academy Award winner John Bruno (Titanic), screenwriter Victor Miller (three-time Emmy winner), and producer Susan Cartsonis (the force behind the major Hollywood hits What Women Want, No Reservations, and Where the Heart Is) who participated in the “Women in Film” panel. These and other behind-the-camera filmmakers have appeared at the festival, all of them giving the festival high marks for programming, creativity, and filmmaker-friendliness.
