🐲 Today! Give Visibility to Strong Heroines!



Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025

Hi Friend,

It's Giving Tuesday.


So I'm in your inbox again to ask you to me help me champion fierce heroines on screen.


This is a quick, heart-forward ask.


I’m finishing my short film, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer -- an adventure that puts a courageous woman at the center.


Today, I invite you to take one empowering action:

Your support fuels:


  • post-production (we're editing the short proof-of-concept now!)

  • festival submissions (hopefully by 2027!)

  • and more stories where girls and women see themselves as the hero. (So much more is coming!)


Thank you for standing for representation and courage.


Let’s go!


And if you would like get occasional news about this project, sign up here:

I only send emails when I have news.


And more news — sneak peaks, upcoming events, and surprises — will be coming soon!


Curious to see where the adventure started: Henrietta The Dragon Slayer.

Our legit movie poster! IRL

From the pitch deck. Henrietta The Dragon Slayer is played by Val Flores.

Happy Writing!



Best,

Beth


P.S. Thank you for being you. Whatever Big Dream you're striving for, you got this!
