WINNER 1st Place for ​In (H)er (D)irection Film Competion

It is a huge honor to win the Chimaera Project's In (H)er (D)irection Film Competition! Co-Executive Directors of the Chimaera Project, Shana Betz and America Young, created a contest for female filmmakers to make a 2 minute film about why we direct, what we bring to directing, and any challenges we have faced as a filmmaker. The film could be interview style and include clips from our work. The Chimaera Project's powerful team has advisory board members with notable powerhouses, Anjelica Houston and Octavia Spencer. "The Chimaera Project is dedicated to empowering women to reach their highest potential in the film, television and media industries. We are inspired to support filmmakers that are actively carving their mark into the developing entertainment landscape."
