Arms and the Woman! the Vancouver Sun loves us!

Hey, look at this sweet mention we received from Vancouver Sun!

"ARMS AND THE WOMAN: The March 4-5 Vancouver Women In Film Festival kicked off with a meetand-greeter at Davie Street's Moxie's Classic Grill Thursday. Much was made of director-producer Katrin Bowen, whose Hollywood-actress teen years resurfaced in her well received debut feature film, Amazon Falls".

See Amazon Falls on Sunday March 6th

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm | FEATURE FILM & CLOSING AWARDS | Amazon Falls (Canada, 2010), directed by Katrin Bowen

"One to watch may be writer-director-producer Beth Freeman, whose Sisters In Arms depicts three female combat soldiers' experiences in Afghanistan and straightforwardly examines collateral family pain experienced in Canada. Already screened at CFB Esquimalt and scheduled for March (International Women's Day) at the Royal Military College in Kingston, this balanced movie may have the range and impact of ordnance it shows in action.

As for one-person duels, actor-producer Meeshelle Neal's Therapy sees her play herself and an alter ego in a locked-door treatment that, rather like independent moviemaking, can result only in a successful outcome or death".

See Sisters In Arms on Sundays March 6th

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm | FEATURE FILMS | A Window Looking In (BC, 2010), directed by Tara Hungerford; Sisters in Arms (BC, 2010), directed by Beth Freeman

Schedule Shmedule! We Want More! Amazon Falls

Alright, so I know you got super excited when you read the full schedule for the Women in Film Festival weekend extravaganza (how could you not?!), but everyone wants to know more about the films, right?!
Right!


So here is a spotlight on the last film of the festival, the amazing Amazon Falls

Jana is a fading B-movie actress who was famous for her roles in Amazon movies playing a variety of pre-Xena warrior-princesses.  Nearing 40 she is desperately trying to keep her leg in the B-movie game and decides to pursue her fading career with a zealous fervor.But new roles are elusive and the clock is ticking.  Will she admit defeat or finally get her break?

This film is brought to life through the absolutely stunning direction of Katrin Bowen. 

Raised in a Mennonite community in Linden, Alberta, to acting in B-movies in Los Angeles, to modeling in Italy, to directing independent films and television in Vancouver, the excellence of Katrin Bowen's films are matched only by her admirable life experiences. 

The Film, Amazon Fall, has a killer website with loads of keen info for anyone who is interested as well as a first-rate press kit, contacts, and a store.
