ABOUT AWIAFF The Artemis Women In Action Film Festival was founded by Melanie Wise and Zac Baldwin, two filmmakers with a long-time love of female-driven action films. Wise and Baldwin have produced shorts and features, focusing on female action projects. They saw that the genre was loved by audiences around the world, despite the fact that studios for many years claimed female action films were box office poison. In 2014, the idea of Artemis was born with the intent to create a space where these types of films could play for audiences with an unsatisfied hunger of female-driven action films. And for the Fifth Edition, Artemis is proud to include female-powered music. http://www.artemisfilmfestival.com Contact First Take PR ***@firsttakepr.com Photos: https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ End
