"The producers of the film were required to pitch their film to an audience at the newly restored Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. We had Academy Award-winning judges to make the final decision and it went unanimously to WOMEN BEHIND THE CAMERA, a documentary about camerawomen based on Alexis Krasilovsky's book of the same title."
--Carole Dean, Roy W. Dean Awards
"WOMEN BEHIND THE CAMERA, a project based on the book by Prof. Alexis Krasilovsky, stands out as a project of great breadth and vision. This compilation of images filmed by leading pioneer camerawomen...has a remarkable advantage...in the oral memories and visions of the women who captured them: from those inspired to take up the camera after witnessing unspeakable tragedies to those practically born with a camera in hand, the diversity of images, style, thought and courage is breathtaking."
--Women in Film

FEEDBACK FROM OUR SNEAK PREVIEWS:
"An important film for EVERYONE who collaborates on motion pictures and all who watch them. The most world-wide film since Winged Migration"
--Thomas McKenney, International Cinematographers Guild
"It is such an inspiring documentary, and especially for the generation of the youth who may be interested in pursuing cinematography as their future profession. The passion is really caught through this piece, in addition to their hard-fought journey, unending perseverance to excel and surpass any obstacles that they have encountered. The struggle is universal and everyone should do themselves a favor by watching this! Beautifully empowering! GO WOMYN!"
--Sinsu Co, Screen Actors Guild
