>>>GREETINGS FROM THE FOUNDER<<
DIRECTOR TARA VENERUSO

This website is a labor of love and passion and to work towards true equality for women everywhere. As directors, we are culture creators making images that go out across the entire globe. This site began due to my barely passable html experience. I have brought together a team of 5 dedicated volunteers to create new, data, articles, and research for this site. We are funded solely on donations... and are always seeking sponsors and trades with organizations to keep ourselves going.

My primary focus is to continue on my directing path. I enjoy working towards the solution and never dwell on any of the negatives of this situation. It is through doing both action items such as the First Weekenders Group, the billboard campaign, and this site Moviesbywomen.com that I allow to make my job possible for future generations of women to come.

If you work for a magazine, radio station, television program or website, please consider doing an interview to help us spread our message. The more statistics and information that we are able to get out to the world - the faster we will be able to change the world. Knowledge is freedom.
