Women In Film.Dallas is pleased to announce our two 2007 Scholarship Recipients – Sharie DeVore and Elizabeth Daggett. Many of you may have seen these ladies and their work showcased at our 6th Annual Chicks Flicks Short Film Festival last Oct. 4th.  Every year, Women In Film.Dallas is devoted to offering two scholarships to women students and applicants studying film, television, or video production. We are looking forward to seeing more great work from these talented and versatile women. Learn more about these ladies below; for application requirements for 2008, click here.

Sharie DeVore is a student at North Lake College. Sharie has returned to college to study film production after working and raising a family. The scholarship committee was most impressed with her music video submission along with her essay titled, "The Music Within Me." She is employed as a professional writer's assistant and is the recipient of the 2007 Women In Film.Dallas $1500 undergraduate tuition grant.

Elizabeth Daggett is a graduate student at the University of North Texas studying Radio-TV-Film. Her film project, A Native American Dream, is a unique documentary focusing on Anglo-Native America tensions in New Mexico from the point of view of Kirby Vacuum sales people working door-to-door in and around the Navajo reservation. Liz submitted this project in 2006, but had not started production yet. We were so impressed with her work; the committee encouraged her to submit again this year after she had some footage to show. Liz's work history includes selling Kirby Vacuums door-to-door, which adds to her special POV on this film. She is the recipient of our $3500 project completion grant.
