Women in Film

The Topaz Award was established by Women in Film Dallas in 1987 to honor distinguished Texas women and men who, through their own vision, have made outstanding contributions to the film and television industry.

SXSW

 
The SXSW Film Festival debuted 58 SAG-AFTRA films and one spectacular performance by local member Tishuan Scott. The 2013 SXSW jury chose Scott to receive its Special Jury Recognition for Acting for his performance in the moving Civil War-era film, The Retrival. Congrats, Tishuan!
