Elizabeth’s Advice to Creatives:

"I’ll repeat the advice I was given when I attended my first #WIFVNE event years ago. I was told to “Start small; start local.”  This is what I’ve done over ten years, with two short film projects that gained attention at small film festivals, eventually leading to me getting a Feature Film writing credit.
