We are thrilled to announce that Hope For A Thorn has received a grant from Women In Film – Florida! We are proud to have the support of this wonderful organization.
Jay and I will be leaving for SXSW on Friday! His film’s premiering Saturday night and we’ll be able to catch two screenings before we return to Florida on Wednesday.
While we are in Austin, my advisor Ula and friend Alix will be presenting a workshop at the Women as Global Leaders Conference in Dubai which I helped author. The workshop is called Leading Through Creative Voice: Women In Film and analyzes the current state of women in the industry as well as the portrayal of women in popular films. Because of the conference coinciding with SXSW, I am sadly unable to attend this year, but they will do a tremendous job presenting (and promise to bring me back a new shawl!)
In honor of the conference, I am including one of my favorite pictures I took on my 2006 trip to Dubai:
