Women are at the heart of the independent film movement in Seattle as in no other city - a fact underscored by the new Seattle Women in Film DVD anthology from 911 Media Arts Center. Distributed by Typecast Releasing, this DVD collection of short works by 21 Seattle filmmakers gathers independent films of startling quality and imagination. Seattle Women in Film shows why the creative community of Seattle is emerging as one of the world’s most interesting places to make film. Featuring some of Seattle’s most respected women filmmakers, this masterful collection is as diverse as the directors themselves, including both laugh-out-loud comedies and experimental dramas, as well as insightful documentaries, animated treasures and films that tap a lyrical vein.
