We are delighted to invite you to our
2013 Collaboration Awards Gala
Thursday, October 24, 2013
6:30 pm
at Baruch Performing Arts Center's Engelman Recital Hall
55 Lexington Avenue, New York City
The winning project, Janeane from Des Moines, is an outstanding film that seamlessly merges documentary film with fiction, following 'Janeane,' a vulnerably imagined member of the Tea Party, as her job, health insurance status, community, and family all disintegrate around her. She decides to follow Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, among others, on the actual 2012 campaign trail, begging them to save 'small American families' like hers and to give her answers for any of her dilemmas.. Janeane is a heartbreaking, hysterically funny, and boldly brave film, co-created by Jane Edith Wilson (SAG-AFTRA) and Grace Lee (Women Make Movies), and is the first film to receive our Collaboration Award.
The evening will feature:
§ Keynote Speaker: Madeleine Smithberg, Emmy and Peabody Award winning producer (for co-creating The Daily Show with Jon Stewart). Madeleine will discuss her experience in political satire, collaboration with another woman Writer/Producer, Lizz Winstead, the perfect fit, and her new YouTube channel Moo showcasing work of young comedy content producers and comediennes.
