Palm Springs Women in Film & Television (PSWIFT) is a nonprofit organization, founded in 2001, dedicated to empowering, promoting and nurturing its members - both women and men - involved in the entertainment, communication and media industries. PSWIFT is also focused on educating, inspiring and bringing in more production work to the Coachella Valley. PSWIFT has been serving the Coachella Valley for more than two decades with networking and growth opportunities for those in our community who seek involvement and/or who work in entertainment, film, television, communication and new media industries. PSWIFT's most relevant program - the Filmmaker Lab - was created by former PSWIFT president and movie producer, Kim Waltrip. The Filmmakers Lab offers cost-free film and television education for aspiring filmmakers and media professionals in the Coachella Valley. The program is helping to build careers, offering hands-on experience and providing local jobs in the film and television industries. To date, the PSWIFT Filmmakers Lab has produced two short films - which have received a number of accolades from short film festivals around the world - and a talk show series called PS After Dark with host, actor Tristan Rogers. Currently in production are the short film, "The Splendor of You" and a second season of PS After Dark. Almost all members of the Filmmakers Lab are Coachella Valley residents. In addition, PSWIFT hosts a number of events each year - from master classes and a speaker's series to networking mixers and its large-scale annual gala, the Broken Glass Awards. Fundraisers are also held to support PSWIFT's scholarship program, which supports local students interested in pursuing education and careers in the film/television and new media industries.
