Granite SoFFA Celebrates One Year Anniversary!
The New Hampshire Film Festival marks the one year anniversary of the launch of Granite SoFFA, the New Hampshire Society of Female Film Artists.
To celebrate, organizers Karen Sampson, Susan Tinkham, and Dana Biscotti Myskowski have planned a Social at Fat Belly's on Two Bow Street in Portsmouth. Appetizers will be available, as well as a cash bar, on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. All are welcome and encouraged to join us.
Last year's kick-off celebration at the now closed Foobar saw approximately 60 filmmakers toast to the newly minted organization that celebrates Granite State women filmmakers, with a nod toward the men who love and support them.
The idea for Granite SoFFA was born in late spring last year when the trio plus one more--Annette Sousa, who now makes her home in LA--met after a screening of Hatchling Studios double billing of MITO KIDS and DEAF PERCEPTION at Red River Theatres in Concord, NH. Discussing the unique stressors of being a woman filmmaker, with all the care-taking duties of family, the foursome agreed that some sort of social and support group would be a welcome relief.
That support group has bumped along from a few foursome brainstorming sessions to a launch party at last year's NHFF, and an unavoidable hiatus during the early part of this year. But with renewed energy, the group has jumped into a commitment to offering a once-monthly schedule of events around the state. From meeting in members' homes, to hosting a panel at the SNOB Film Festival, the group hopes to engage fellow female filmmakers (and those darling men we can't live without!) as we support each other in our goals of making quality films in the Granite State.
Future events include a social at the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, supporting the annual New Hampshire Film & Television Office Holiday Party, and a weekend retreat in early 2012 in which members can share their projects--old and new--with each other.
Brainstorming at a recent meeting also identified several workshops for members, by members, in which we can share our expertise with each other, and learn together. It is even hoped that one day in the not so distant future we will produce a Granite SoFFA film together.
We welcome you to this year's One Year Anniversary Social. Whether it is your first time to a Granite SoFFA Social or your fifth, we look forward to seeing you at Fat Belly's on Saturday.

Feeding Your [Home] Crew
 |
| While delicious, homemade ravioli are not on my list of easy, make-ahead dinners...unless I have some extra waiting in my freezer. |
But what about dinner?
I'll be home in time to eat with my family, but definitely not early enough to cook for them. And though I have a few staples that I have come to rely upon--thank goodness for the crock pot!--a multi-day shoot means that I will soon exhaust my small supply of old reliables.
So what are your favorite make-ahead dishes? Share them with us below in the comment section, or email them to us and [eventually] we will compile and publish to our website the easiest, tastiest recipes.
