Women in Film & Television - Houston present the WIFTI Short Film Showcase.

Texas is Represented in This Global Film Showcase Celebrating International Women's Day, March 8 – 5:00 PM Announcing the Fourth Annual Short Film Showcase, hosted by Women in Film and Television International, WIFT Houston, and HCC Northwest (Town & Country Campus) Audio/Film Department.

There are currently 182 events planned from over 18 different countries to mark this March 8th occasion. Women in Film Chapters are participating in China, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Sweden, and 12 cities throughout the U.S.

For more details visit. www.WIFTI.org.

Making this year's showcase even more exciting, filmmaker Kat Candler's project, QUARTER TO NOON, a last-minute entry at the urging of WIFT Houston president was among the final selections. It will be the closing entry shown around the world during this special celebration. Kat Candler has been teaching film classes and camps since 2001. She's worked with Expanding Your Horizons Youth Conference, Video Association of Dallas, Southwest Alternate Media Project, American Youthworks, The Austin Film Society, The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, Skill Point Alliance and The Austin School of Film. She helped create and teach the Austin-based Summer Film Camp for Girls. She's currently a Lecturer at the University of Texas and teaches her own classes at Arts and Labor Productions.

Her inclusion in the program for Houston means we'll have some representatives who worked on her latest short, QUARTER TO NOON, here with us to introduce it and participate in the Q & A following the screening of these shorts. Though originally planning to be here, she will be returning from NY at the time of our screening and have to postpone a trip here, but she does promise to do a workshop for us on short filmmaking later this year. Her composer/editor Brian Satterwhite is planning to be with us and possibly the cinematographer on the project.
