Member Events & Projects

Dear IWF members,

It's hard to believe it's been 8 years since Shereen founded Independent Women Filmmakers, and over 6 years since we launched the website! Currently we have 64 member photos/resumes listed on our Resume page. Some of them have not been updated since 2001, some have e-mail addresses and photo numbers that are no longer valid, and some still have added no information whatsoever to their pages. So, in order to keep our Resume page as fast and current as possible for our members, we are going to start deleting resumes. In a few weeks we will delete resume pages with no information on them. Then we will delete any resumes with information that has not been updated since 2003. If you fall in to one of those categories and would like your resume page to stay on the website, please e-mail Jean with any pertinent information.

Members wishing to update photos and add to your resume information are always welcome to send those changes along whenever you have them.

All our best,

Shereen Noon - Founder, Independent Women Filmmakers
Jean Marie - Director, Independent Women Filmmakers

IWF member Kaye Kittrell

"Betty's Treats", the directorial debut of actress, Kaye Kittrell, is a comic love tale with a twist, set in 1957, Riverdale, USA, geared for all audiences.

Betty, in flowing silk organza, red lipstick and polished red nails, pumps tied with a bow, a perfectionist, is busy baking her true love's favorite treats (he'll be home any minute), when the doorbell rings, which changes the course of Betty's day. Does Betty take her fascination with a certain comic book figure too far? We'll find out. A film about lost love, and how to get it back, starring Kaye Kittrell as Betty and Erica Gimpel as Mrs. Wilson.

A an official selection in three film festivals, you can find out more at:
