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!

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!
