WIF.D Presents The 2008 Topaz Awards Gala

Join us for an evening of glamor, networking, and entertainment as we help Women In Film.Dallas give back to our local community.  This year's theme is Making a Difference!

The Topaz Awards not only recognize the tremendous efforts of film professionals with Texas roots, it also serves as the primary fundraiser for the WIF.D scholarship fund, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives.

We have a fabulous lineup for 2008 as we celebrate those who are Making a Difference, women and men who inspire all of us and have made significant contributions to the local film industry. Please join us in celebrating this year’s award winners.
