Inspired to Make a Difference – 2018 Lunafest

On May 3rd, 2018 Lunafest showcased 9 short films by women with a cinco-de-mayo style dinner and celebration at the Canyon Theatre Guild in Old Town Newhall. Established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the whole nutrition bar for women, LUNAFEST connects women, their stories and their causes through film. This traveling film festival spotlights the work of a diverse array of talented women filmmakers with intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes. Since its inception, LUNAFEST has grown from a single annual event to a coast-to-coast force with more than 150 North American screenings each season. To date, 92 filmmakers have been featured, nearly $1.2 million dollars has been raised and thousands of attendees have come away moved, entertained and inspired.
This is an event I specifically look forward to each year. If you have not attended one yet, please do so! I can promise you will find an evening filled with inspiration, friendship, encouragement and empowerment. The women of Zonta have been improving the lives of women in our community for more than 40 years with the local chapter opening back in 1974.
