Pitching a Pitch Session: Book Early to Avoid Dissapointment!

Do you have an amazing idea that you want the world to hear? Are you the next green-light star destined for the film history books?
If you think that you have an amazing idea that you must tell someone, you are an excellent candidate for WIFTV's pitching sessions. 

A pitch session is a one-on-one non-public session that is conducted in an open room in a "speed dating" style. You may book one-on-one 10 minute pitching sessions and pitch your project directly to leading film industry professionals.

This year we have an amazing cast of professionals including: Bill Hurst, Stacey Landers, Caroline Coutts, Maureen Levitt, Robert Hardy,  and Tracey Friesen.

Click here for further information. Remember: book early and let your talents be heard!

Super Sandman Spectacular!

We have great news at VWIFF headquarters!

WIFTV has an agreement with the Sandman as our Host Hotel. 
This means that when you book a room, or rooms, via the WIFTV website you will receive excellent preferred rates!
And, because you book through our website, WIFTV will receive support from the Sandman Hotels for fundraising purposes!


So this is a win/win and an excellent way to party down during the holiday season and through out the new year!

Happy Holidays from VWIFF!

We here at the Vancouver Women in Film Festival would like to extend our warm wishes and the happiest of holidays to you this season!
We thank you so much for your continual participation. Our festival would be nothing without the support and attendance of our amazing fans. Your patronage means the world to our staff and film makers! 
If you are interested in showing your appreciation for the festival during these winter-filled months, we have the perfect idea!


Are you tired of giving away smelly socks and ugly sweaters to your family and friends? Would you like to gift something that helps a community and gets you free swag?

Well we have the perfect idea!

If you donate to our 2011 fundraiser, we have some excellent perks for you or for a significant other in your life!


Some of the perks include:



- Your name listed with other donors and partners during the festival.

How to Make a Difference!

Here is a little bit of math for you:
(don't worry, it's exciting and you may end up with presents!)


If two hundred people donate a mere five dollars to our festival, us here at the Women In Film Festival would be able to make our fundraising quota for the event! One thousand dollars doesn't seem like much in our world, but it would give extensive benefits to everyone involved in our festival. These extra funds means we could present many more opportunities to the film makers and you, our audience!


So please, consider donating to our wonderful festival!
