LUNAFEST, the fundraising film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women’s issues, highlighting women filmmakers, and bringing women together in their communities, will be hosted by Santa Clarita Valley Zonta, at the Canyon Theatre Guild, on Friday, Sept. 13, in Newhall.

This unique film festival highlights women as leaders in society, illustrated through eight short films by women filmmakers. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women’s health, body image, relationships, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.

Among the 8 short films to be shown at the event is “The Final Show”, starring Marion Ross of the famous Happy Days TV series. Who would you choose to spend eternity with, asks her hairdresser of 50 years, in this hilarious short film? Is it her husband, her ex-husband, or is it her high-school sweetheart.? Is it bachelor number 1, 2, or 3? Who will get the final rose from her, like in the scenes in the TV series The Bachelor? Who will Betty Schwartz choose to be her true companion for eternity? Discover who will be the choice for Betty Schwartz to spend eternity with! You will be surprised and amused, in this funny short Luna Fest film!

All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit and Chicken & Egg Pictures, a nonprofit organization that supports women nonfiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyzes social change.
