- 8 years ago
*The Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center [BHERC] presented the 21st Annual “Sistas Are Doing It For Themselves” film festival on Saturday, July 26 at the Raleigh Studios in Hollywood California which included screenings of several movie shorts all created by African American women from diverse backgrounds.
Sandra Evers-Manly, president of the BHERC gave this statement exclusively to EURweb:
“[The 'Sistas are Doing it for Themselves’ film festival] gives an opportunity to showcase films by black women to share their perspective. This showcase is one of three showcases done by the Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center. The showcase requires that a woman is a director, writer or producer on the film. We are very excited about the films that we saw this evening. “
From among the seven films showcased at the festival, stand outs were “She Aint Got a Man,” a 24 minute documentary about successful women finding good husbands. Sheela Sharma, the film’s producer had this to say about her film:
“I think it hits allot of people at home. Especially in Los Angeles, it’s so hard for women to find a man. We [Sharma and writer/director/executive producer Helen Banks] felt like this project could be really inspirational to people to really look at themselves and what they are saying and what they are putting out there compared to what they want.”
