“Women in Film: Creating New Myths, Honoring our Truths.”
SARATOGA SPRINGS – {{Ed. Note: The Inn at Saratoga’s (231 Broadway) Salon Series has a unique, congenial format of a social wine and cheese hour, followed by a presentation about a topic that reflects the presenter’s area of expertise. This is done in a comfortable setting that allows for relaxed idea exchanges between the guests and presenters. Previous topics have run the gamut from foreign policy to songwriting craft.
This Sunday’s Salon explores the rise of Women to power positions in the Film Making industry in greater numbers than ever before; the philosophy they bring to the Director’s chair and as Producers, as well as other important positions that go a long way to developing what we see today in cinema. – AG}}
This Sunday, March 31, The Inn at Saratoga will welcome Deborah Kampmeier, an award winning independent filmmaker to discuss “Women in Film: Creating New Myths, Honoring our Truths.” Deborah’s production company, Full Moon Films, has produced four feature films and a number of shorts, and currently employs Saratoga native, Annarosa Mudd as a producer. Annarosa will moderate the conversation with Deborah, discussing how these “new myths” are created through script writing, developing one’s own ‘voice’, connecting with other artists and audiences, managing setbacks and achievements, and making one’s own distinct mark on the changing landscape of film. There will also be plenty of opportunities for questions and engaging with guests.
Deborah Kampmeier’s first feature – Virgin, starring Elisabeth Moss and Robin Wright, was nominated for two 2004 Independent Spirit Awards. Her second feature – Hounddog, starring Dakota Fanning, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Deborah’s third feature, Split, won Best of Show at the 2016 Female Eye Film Festival and was nominated for the Independent Vision Best Film at the 2016 Sarasota Film Festival. She has just wrapped production on her fourth feature – Tape, starring Isabelle Fuhrman.
Deborah’s feature film “Hounddog” is now available to watch on Amazon Prime: LINK
Saratoga native Annarosa Mudd (BFA Drama, NYU Tisch) is a producing partner for Full Moon Films. She produced and played a lead role in the company’s upcoming film Tape, and is producing future projects Dirt Rhapsody, and an untitled Kate Chopin biopic.
