Women in Film & Video DC ⟩ Locavore Film Series

You care where your food comes from, shouldn’t the source of your media be just as important? After all, you probably spend more hours daily watching media than eating!

Supporting the work of local filmmakers is just as important as supporting local farmers. It will impact whose stories are shared and how they’re shared.

WIFV, in partnership with the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse, is excited to present the Locavore Film Series. The series highlights and supports the incredible work of local filmmakers! Tickets are $10/person and proceeds benefit the filmmakers!

We look forward to announcing the 21-22 Schedule soon. We anticipate beginning again in September!

Do you think being a freelancer just means being y

Do you think being a freelancer just means being your own boss? There's more to it than just waiting for the phone to ring, grabbing some gaff tape, and heading out the door. You have insurance considerations, tax considerations, and legal considerations. Not to mention making sure that work is coming in consistently... and that you're billing for it! We'll discuss all of these considerations and answer your questions about the business of freelancing in this program.

A redhead who hails from Kentucky, Taylor Coriell

A redhead who hails from Kentucky, Taylor Coriell is a bicoastal Black List Recommended writer & director, addicted to shows and movies about the people and places that make you feel at home with yourself, through the lens of ladycentric dramedies, rom-coms, and buddy comedies. She was most recently featured on The Stunt List's Naughty List and in the Top 15% for the Nicholl Fellowship, as a Finalist for the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship & Atlanta Film Festival's TV pilot competition, and as a 2x Semifinalist for the Sundance New Voices Labs. Her work as a director and producer has screened on Amazon Prime, Dekkoo, and in festivals all over the world. A former figure skater, recovering opera singer, and full-time pal, Taylor would love to talk about your favorite period piece, whether or not LA can one day provide her with a *actual* bagel, or even hear if you have a theory about why Barack Obama follows her on Twitter (yes, still).
