The Nevada Women's Film Festival honors filmmakers and sisters Constanza and Domenica Castro with the 2021 Nevada Woman Filmmakers of the Year Award for their accomplishments in creating socially conscious content for film, television and the web. These sisters have always sought out to tell stories that put a spotlight on marginalized communities, question the status quo, push boundaries and provoke, inspire and entertain an audience.
Hosted by NWFFest board member and Chair of the UNLV Film Department, Dr. Heather Addison will lead an in-depth discussion with the Castros about their childhoods in Mexico City, their time at UNLV Film, making features in Nevada and starting their own production company, 271 Films, in L.A.
