Beautiful filmmakers! Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their projects to the inaugural 'Then She Said Emerging Female Filmmakers Grant'.

The storytelling talent shared with us from everyone was invigorating to say the least. We have decades of fantastic screen based storytelling led by women ahead of us.
