A love connection
Gabriel and Trey met over the phone at work. It took awhile and a few cancelled dates for Trey to get up the nerve to meet Gabriel in person, because he thought she sounded to good to be true, but when he did, there was no looking back!

We Create
42 dedicated women filmmakers and photographers.
Five sparkling days in the Bahamas.
You just never know where you might find inspiration!
Late one night at POSH, an amazing female filmmaker retreat/cruise, my filmmaking friend and roommate Maura Coleman-Murray and I were discussing the idea of women in the filmmaking industry and what skills we believe women bring to filmmaking. Traditionally, the filmmaking industry has been a male dominated field, but that is slowly changing and more and more women are making it their career. We talked about how women have changed the industry in various ways. Bringing what we see as a more emotional, intuitive and personal approach to the making of films. We thought, here we are with 40 of the top female event filmmakers in the world, lets make a short film about it!
We asked the rest of the 40 women on the retreat what they thought of the idea. Of course everyone was very enthusiastic and full of ideas. We met the next morning on our one day off in the Bahamas and spent the morning working together coming up with the concept, writing the script, and filming the piece.
It was an amazing collaboration of the most talented women.
Based on the concept of sharing a positive message about women and what they bring to the craft of filmmaking, we choose to create the film around three sentences: "I am a", "I am" and "We are". The "I am a" statements describe the roles we all play in society: "I am a mother", "I am a sister". We used the "I am" sentences to describe what skills we bring to the craft: "I am creative", "I am intuitive", "I am sensitive". Then we went to "We are" statements and delved into the actual things we believe we are, such as: "We are storytellers", "We are documentarians" and finally "We are filmmakers".
In the end we hope to inspire other women to use their natural intuition and believe in themselves to forge ahead in this male dominated field confidently. Women Create. We create. Create.
Shot on location at POSH 2010, “We Create” was directed by Maura Coleman-Murray and Kara Jensen, filmed by Maribeth Ratajczyk and Luiza Perkowska, and edited by Meg Simone.

Five sparkling days in the Bahamas
This conference was so amazing! 42 women event filmmakers all on a cruise ship for 4 days makes for a wonderful experience. Been home for 2 days and I think the swaying has stopped and now I am trying to absorb all the great information. Really the biggest take home for me was feeling really positive about my work and my style. Women are so supportive and positive and it is so wonderful to spend time with a group of women who are doing the same thing as you, only they are bringing their unique perspective. So interesting to share and talk and learn from each other. I am inspired to continue learning and exploring and connecting so that I will always be growing. http://posheventonline.com/
