OUR STORY
We first decided to hold the inaugural LWFF in efforts to raise the funds necessary to produce, from start to finish, our very first Award Winning Film, Moksha. The Sundance Film Festival had just announced pulling out of the Ogden specific venues for the first time in more than a decade, and we jumped on the opportunity to present something fresh and new on the exact weekend that Sundance had previously been a staple. Since then we have come to realize the wonderful impact that our festival had on our entire community here on the Wasatch. With such beautiful ties to so many strong women from around the world, our festival has now become an exciting adventure in and of itself. Opening in 2017 we had a huge showing of 1000+ attendees, following in 2018 with with more than 1200 and the growth and excitement has continued year after year... Even during Covid-19 pandemic as we went online for the first time (2021) and had viewers from nearly every continent (including 30+ countries) across the globe.

Returning to a live format for 2022- Four years ago we added the addition of the spoken word to compliment the live aspect of our performance artists. Our inaugural speaker being former a two-time world champion, five-time X-Games medalist, and four-time national champion in halfpipe skiing ,life coach, entrepreneur, writer, adventurer, podcaster and sports broadcaster, Jen Hudak.

The LWFF is an event which provides guests and content creators with a "classy meets casual" evening which combines some of northern Utah's favorite local eats, drinks, artisans and artists. In addition we are known with enhancing many festival goers experience with a LOADED Raffle giveaway (included with each ticket) provided by our wonderful festival partners, supporters, and sponsors. So come and enjoy the best that this community has to offer at this first of the year festival that is sure to uplift you, inspire you, and leave you hungry for more!

    Really upsetting with how this festival submission turned out. After massive delays of supposed selection date, my film status was changed to selected. However, after this I have heard absolutely nothing from them. I have tried contacting them multiple times about this. I still have no idea about how my film did in this festival (or if it even took place at all). Feel like they are taking people's money.

    Very disappointing. Was really looking forward to this festival, and their cause is a good one and clearly valued in the local community, so it’s a shame it was a poor experience. After our film was officially selected we received absolutely no communication from the organisers despite the fact I wrote to them three times on different platforms. I still have no idea whether our film screened or not. And I don’t mind if it didn’t, it would have just been nice if they’d have said something, anything. Ended up a waste of money.
