Alliance of Women Filmmakers (AWF) was established 14 years ago with a goal to provide a platform and resources for filmmakers creating unique and powerful roles for women. The organization has developed the Los Angeles Women's International Film Festival (www.lawomensfest.com) which has showcased hundreds of films made by women around the world. Here’s a special code that you can use for 20% off your entry fee: INVITETR2ADE. AWFs' scriptwriting competition (May 1st - June 30th) serves as a resource for writers creating unique and powerful roles for women. This script competition was established to further the mission of Alliance of Women Filmmakers to help advance the careers of writers and filmmakers creating diverse and powerful screen images of women from all ethnicities. Alliance of Women Filmmakers is a community partner of Women of Warner. Five Script Finalist will be invited to attend one of AWF and WOW's partnered events on the WB lot this Fall.
