BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: We submitted to Sofia Coppola’s grant and we need a little help from friends and family 🥹👉👈 We need you! ❤️

Please vote for Gamu-Gamo! The grant uses a voting system and the top voted films get reviewed by the judges, including Sofia. This means if we don’t reach a strong vote count, the production won’t
get reviewed at all. 🥺

We know this is such a huge favor to ask as it requires you to create an account. We truly appreciate your time and support. Voting is completely free! Just follow our instructions on the next slide :) Link in our bio to vote.

Please share with family and friends. Every vote makes a difference!

Organizers, volunteers, and filmmakers reflect on what the Nevada Women’s Film Festival means to them and the lasting impact it continues to make 12 years after its founding.

Over the past 12 years, the Nevada Women’s Film Festival has evolved from a grassroots idea into a powerful force within the independent film landscape—proving that meaningful industry change often begins at the community level.

Founded by Nikki Corda, the festival was created to address the lack of representation for women in film while providing a platform for bold, diverse storytelling. What started as a small, student-driven initiative quickly grew into an international event, attracting submissions and filmmakers from around the world and establishing Las Vegas as a destination for emerging voices.

Beyond its screenings, the festival has played a critical role in shaping careers. It serves as a launchpad for filmmakers, a networking hub for creatives, and an educational experience through its collaboration with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Students gain hands-on production experience, while filmmakers are given the opportunity to connect, learn, and build lasting relationships within the industry.

The impact extends even further through its commitment to community. Panels, workshops, and mentorship opportunities have helped cultivate a more inclusive and forward-thinking creative environment—one that continues to elevate underrepresented voices and push storytelling boundaries.

As the festival looks ahead, its ambitions are higher than ever. With over a decade of growth, credibility, and international reach, the Nevada Women’s Film Festival is now aiming to become an Academy Award–qualifying festival as early as next season—an achievement that would further amplify the voices it champions.

Twelve years in, the festival’s impact is undeniable. What began as a mission to create space has grown into a movement—one that continues to shape the future of film from right here in Nevada.
