Women Filmmakers rise up and unite! This group is for the advancement, support and representation of women filmmakers and artists in the Bay Area. I started this group because I just finished a Film History II at SFSU and I didn't see one film made or directed by a woman. We need to change the system!!! Post your events, contests, jobs, project & production info/needs, discussion topics and artwork/films.
