Pitch Practice with Sara Elizabeth Timmins
Back by popular demand, Sara Elizabeth Timmons of Life Out Loud Productions returns for another interactive WIFVNE session but this time you're in the hot seat!

Advance submission is required for those who would like to pitch.

Wednesday, August 19th @ 7pm on Zoom

Works-In-Progress Nights

Date | Time: September 17, 2026 - 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Host: Another Age Productions
Location: 19 Needham St. Suite 207, Newton, MA 02461

The first one was such a success, we're doing it again! Join us for our second Work-in-Progress Screening, a new quarterly series designed to support film and media projects at every stage of the process.

Part feedback session, part creative hang, this is a space to share what you’re working on, get fresh perspective, and connect with a community that gets it. From proof of concepts to nearly finished cuts, all are welcome.

How it works:
Submit up to a ten minute clip for consideration. We’ll select 4–6 works to screen. Following each film, we’ll pause for a thoughtful discussion tailored to each piece. 
If you wish to submit a project for consideration, click here. Submissions close September 10th.
Please note: submissions must be video-based.

We’ll kick things off with drinks, light refreshments and time to connect before the screenings, then keep the conversation going after.

WIFVNE Members: $5
WIFT US: $10
