Women Filmmakers Compete for $20,000 Scholarship

It`s time for young new filmmakers to try and win a $20,000 scholarship from Muse Media Center. The post-production film facility has announced that it will be offering this scholarship to help provide facilities for independent women filmmakers to finish their work. In April, 2006, a panel of judges will interview filmmakers who have met San Francisco Women?s Film Festival entry requirements and who have already raised funding for their films.

Noah Veneklasen, Principal of the Muse Media Center, opened the center with his wife Karyn Veneklasen in 2005 with the intent of building an independent film community around the center. Both Noah and Karyn are accomplished producers, with experience in corporate videos, documentaries and feature-lengths.

`The Muse Media facility is completely state of the art?we really couldn`t ask for more in terms of being able to provide a filmmaker with stellar accommodations to edit her film. Muse Media?s scholarship offer helps the festival fulfill our mission.`
