After the intense weekend film production and editing that followed, it was such an exciting honor that Pretty Dead’s film fest premiere was at the Women in Comedy Festival presented by HBO, in a shorts program sponsored by NBC.

Some of the cast and crew traveled to Boston for this fantastic occasion — we were surrounded by many gifted comedians and participated in great pro artist programs. Some highlights:

The programs!

Motivating keynote by DMA about entertainment industry “Hustle vs. Flow.”
Industry pitch with finalists Kelly MacFarland and Dawn Smith.

The screening!

Jenn Young’s “Jenny’s” on-screen “interview” – so great to hear the audience reactions.
Such a great team – so many thanks!
The program, the ballot… such a fun line-up at the Brattle Theater…
