Artemis Women Powered Music Announces Official Selections For The Artemis Women In Action Film Festival 2019
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Artemis Women Powered Music, sponsored by Bella Composers, is proud to announce Official Selections for the 2019 Artemis Women In Action Film Festival (AWIAFF). With an overwhelming response to the groundbreaking women's music festival, composers, female artists, and singer/songwriters submitted content from around the world and represented a wealth of underserved talent, exhibiting outrageously capable skill sets, ranging from the highest of production values to complex orchestral arrangements, performed by world class orchestras, chamber ensembles, and instrumentalists. The song submissions were surprisingly radio-ready with powerful lyrics, gorgeous vocals and arrangements, and solidly award-worthy. Entries stretched worldwide, and as diverse as one could imagine, it was a difficult selection process.

"For the first festival of its kind, we expected a range of music but our judges had no idea it would be so difficult to choose the finalists. It almost seemed cruel to eliminate so many women who were stunningly talented and so capable. We hope they will continue to pursue their goals as composers and musical artists. The judges were blown away by their professionalism and musicianship. Sadly, there were only a limited number of spots for potential finalists. To be among those chosen is indeed an incredible feat and we commend them." -Kaylene Peoples, Bella Composers Founder

Categories include Domestic and Foreign Best Score, Best Composition, Best Artist, and Best Theme Song. The Score and Composition categories had steep requirements with qualifiers that included professionally recorded music accompanied by a matching written score. Artemis composers submitted traditional chamber pieces, Movements from their original symphonies, structured choral song cycles and electronic music. Film composers submitted cues and and/or compositions written specifically for a movie. Best Artist was determined by commercial viability, production quality, lyrical content, vocal performance, and "radio-ready" masters. The Best Theme Song category had similar criteria of Best Artist but had to be used in or written for a film.

"Women composers are everywhere" is the Bella Composers tagline. Film composers, women-led bands, and female recording artists have been underserved in the music and entertainment industry from inception. Does this mean that women-powered music hasn't made an impact on their fans? Absolutely not. There is no discrepancy in talent or lack of training. The exclusion remains simply in opportunity, exposure, and pay. The Women Powered Music Panel by Bella Composers will discuss the state of music with the intent to offer solutions and a clear direction on how to navigate the murky waters of gender inequality in music. On panel is Bella Composers founder Kaylene Peoples, recording artist Kiki Ebsen, Whitebear PR publicist Cas Spencer, and composer and Alliance for Women Composer President Starr Parodi. The Panel will be moderated by author/entertainment journalist Sheryl Aronson.

"I think being a female composer is just like being a male composer! The only thing we need is more visibility. I would never want to be hired on a project just because I'm a woman. I want to be hired because I'm damn good at what I do. I am happy there are initiatives and festivals like Artemis that bring us this visibility so that the rest of the world is aware of our stellar work!"

-Artemis Music Finalist Suad Bushnaq
The Competition Awards will be held on Friday, April 26, 2019, at 6:00PM and the Artemis Women Powered Music by Bella Composers Panel will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at noon at the Laemmle Santa Monica, located at 1332 2nd St., Santa Monica, CA 90401.

ABOUT BELLA COMPOSERS
Created by Kaylene Peoples, an award-winner singer/instrumentalist, composer/arranger and conductor, Bella Composers was created to offer women composers new opportunities, self-expression, empowerment, and employment in the world of classical, neoclassical, and other traditional musical genres by showcasing their music through live performance. Bellacomposers.org

ABOUT Artemis Women In Action Film Festival: Artemis Women In Action Film Festival was founded by Melanie Wise and Zac Baldwin, two filmmakers with a long time love of female-driven action films. Wise and Baldwin have produced shorts and features, focusing on female action projects. They saw that the genre was loved by audiences around the world, despite the fact that studios for many years claimed female action films were box office poison. In 2014, the idea of Artemis was born with the intent to create a space where these types of films could play for audiences with an unsatisfied hunger of female-driven action films. And for the Fifth Edition, Artemis is proud to include female-powered music. https://www.artemisfilmfestival.com
