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, and 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 the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic as we went online for the first time and had viewers from nearly every continent across the globe.
Returning to a live format for 2022- Three years ago we added the addition of the spoken word. Our inaugural speaker being former professional skier - 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.
We have also showcased local/well known performers in song, dance and storytelling.
The LWFF is an event which provides guests and content creators with a "classy meets casual" evening including some of northern Utah's favorite local eats, drinks, beats & bands! We also include a hefty Raffle giveaway(included with each ticket) from our wonderful festival partners. So come and enjoy all the visuals, sounds, ideas and people that come together for this first of the year festival that is sure to uplift you, inspire you and leave you stoked for more!
