This year’s film series is being coordinated by Megan Erbacher, a recent Fredonia graduate with a degree in Communications - TV/Digital Video Production and a minor in Film Studies. She spent the summer in San Francisco working at a post-production house specializing in commercial spots. Recently, she was post-production supervisor for the Turkish youth filmmaking project funded by the U.S. State Department which brought Turkish students to SUNY Fredonia to show short films about social issues in Turkey. She is excited to be a part of the Women Take Aim Film Series this year after going to so many of the series' screenings as a student.
