Above all, be the heroine of your life. – Nora Ephron, American film director, producer, screenwriter, and novelist
Lunafest, presented by the East Bay Lunafest Committee this past Saturday, was a rousing success. The traveling film festival is now shown in approximately 150 cities across the U.S. and Canada, up from 125 cities last year.

Not to mention getting to know and working with the wonderful group of women, with diverse experiences and talents, who make up the committee.
