Posted project update #11Sarasota and Through Women's Eyes!
Post CommentI’m excited to announce to you that our 2nd festival is going to be Sarasota!
We’re honored to be chosen to screen as part of the Through Women’s Eyes Series. TWE is in partnership with the Sarasota Film Festival. It is a division of UN Women and is also in partnership with Women Make Movies. Through Women’s Eyes chooses films made primarily by women “that increase awareness of the lives of women throughout the world.” You can find our film on their website here:
http://www.throughwomenseyes.com/events/events.cfm
Director, Tawny Foskett, and Producer, Laurie Rud, will be in attendance at the Sarasota Film Festival for the reception and Screening April 14th and 15th.Variety magazine states that the Sarasota Film Festival is “regarded by many as the acme of a regional American film fest…” and from our interactions thus far they do seem as warm and gracious to their filmmakers as we’d heard they would be.
They have a great lineup this year including Todd Solondz’s (director of Happiness and Storytelling amongst others) new film, Dark Horse.
We seem to be finding our way across the beach towns of America! And as I’ve said before, it’s very special that the 1st festival (GSFF) is where we shot the film, and the 2nd (SFF) is where the real story took place.
Hope to see you there!
Love, Tawny
And the GWS cast and crew

Posted project update #7and Girls Who Smoke enters the Festival stage!
Post CommentDear Wonderful Backers,
I know, you may have been wondering, are we ever going to finish this film, but, it is finally, mostly completed! (Just a few small details and we are applying to grants for them which prevent us from being "officially done"). But, we have begun to submit to film festivals and I feel very proud of the final 15-minute film.
If you live in NYC we hope to schedule our Cast/Crew/Supporter screening in October and if we are lucky our first festivals will be that month too. We'll be on the festival circuit all of 2012 and will keep you updated as to where it is playing near you.
I hired some great talent in the Post Production stage - thanks to your help:
Jef Taylor - Editor
Lucas Van Lenten - Composer
Matt Broadfoot - Sound Design, Edit and Mix
& Northern California musician, Lila Nelson, is going to let me use one of her songs over the end credits.
Those people were golden, and I could have never brought them on to help me make this film without your support.
Whereas I can't show you the final film yet, you can check out the original source material, which just got posted on The Moth's You Tube channel. A link to Jen Hixson telling her story is on our Facebook page.
I hope you'll think I did it justice when you see the film.
So much gratitude,
Tawnya & all the Producers and Cast and Crew of Girls Who Smoke
