The weekly podcast Media & Monuments features conversations with industry professionals speaking on a wide range of topics of interest to our region’s media makers.

As a long-time journalist, I had always appreciated the support and networking that Women in Film & Video of Washington, DC provided. Then I undertook the making of my first documentary film – I had so many questions! How grateful I am to the WIFV leadership and the members who supported me on my journey, from mentoring to fiscal sponsorship. I am proud to be a member of this organization and will continue to support their mission for years to come.

– Julianne Donofrio
