Hey everyone! We're so excited to be here, all dressed up and representing #SJIWFF at the #cdnscreenawards! First, a little background on us, your hosts this evening... We're @michelledhatt and @janalmusic. Michelle is an actor-filmmaker and Janal is a composer for film, tv and interactive media. We actually first met at #SJIWFF28, where we became good friends/collaborators, returning to St. John's this past October for #SJIWFF29 with the short film #BraveLittleArmy. Janal is currently working on scores for @terrorariumgame and Night Shoot, directed by Penny Eizenga, starring Gordon Pinsent and Sheila McCarthy, and, these days, when Michelle isn't on set or in the recording studio, she's busy co-producing The Scritching Hour - a horror comedy short written/directed by Karlee Morse. We look forward to sharing tonight's @cdnacademy Broadcast Gala experience with you right here as well as over on twitter at @SJIWFF. Stay tuned for our updates and some potential geeking out over all the amazing talent here tonight! #womeninfilm #SJIWFF30 #janalbechthold #michelledalessandrohatt#sonycentre #gala #nightshoot #thescritchinghour #blacklabfilmco #femalefilmmakers #socialmediatakeover

Welcome to 1992! #sjiwff was only 4 but was already solidifying itself as a hot ticket if that cake is anything to go by. Recognize any of these industry movers and shakers? Anyone else forget you used to be able to smoke inside? #sjiwff30 #femalefilmmakers #womeninfilm #nlfilm #tbthursday #yytthrowback #CdnFilm

4th highlighted #femalefilmmaker from festivals past; @shanimootoo! In 1992, Shani's video poem #EnglishLesson made the #sjiwff programmers "laugh our guts out". #ShaniMootoo is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist celebrated in video, visual art, literature and photography. One very impressive creator! #sjwiff30 #tbthursday #womeninfilm #CdnFilm #sjiwff30countdown #filmfestivalcountdown #1992

Award-winning director deemed a 'vital new voice' Jasmin Mozaffari and @actranational 2019 'Woman of the Year' Noreen Golfman share the stage during the post @firecrackersfilm Q+A! This "really intense film" stirred lots of discussion around the ways women are portrayed in media, particularly film. Good thing we fed Jasmin a hardy meal before hand and introduced her to some local film industry trailblazers, new friends and potential collaborators on the east coast. @jenntvbrown @toriatimes @iamruthlawrence @nicoleboggan @chantallovell2 @karenmoniemusic @ngolfman #getstuffed #femalefilmmakers #femaleempowerment #sjiwff30 #womeninfilm
