A Las Vegas-based artist says although women have come a long way in the film industry there’s still work that needs to be done.
“Women are still thought of as being in different positions like props and costumes which is great, we do really well in those positions, but I'd love to see us expand into more roles,” said local artist Destiny Faith Nelson.
The festival ended with the Femmy Awards where they had a category just for Nevada filmmakers.
