CANVAS, the narrative PSA directed by Arlene Bogna and produced by Women In Film, will be screening at two upcoming indie film festivals which celebrate independent films and women filmmakers!
Moving Pictures' RaeAnne Marsh writes: "The Little PSA That Could" is what filmmaker Arlene Bogna calls her Women In Film produced project for A Window Between Worlds. Shot like a narrative film, the PSA Canvas shows one woman as a complex and strong character - a role notoriously rare in feature films.
The film benefits from the practiced hand of film editor Paul Hirsch, whose filmography glitters with Oscar
gold for his editing of Star Wars. "He has an emotional sensitivity," Bogna notes. Also important: "He has a narrative background. What we were doing was more like a feature than a commercial. He understood how to bring out characters' emotions."
Women In Film (WIF) produces four public service announcements (PSAs) per year, and there is keen competition to be selected a director. The organization was founded to promote women in the entertainment and media industries, so it is not surprising that most of the organizations it chooses for the PSA program are charities that, also, benefit women and children."
