About the She Speaks Film Festival
Film Festival in Austin for Women

Our Mission

She Speaks Film Festival is designed to showcase the voices of women in film, creating a space where their stories can be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Founder Jessica Drake

"She Speaks is a celebration of what's possible when women are given room to tell their stories, in their
own voices, on their
own terms."

- Founder, Jessica Drake

As an actor spending more than 20 years in the film industry, Jessica Drake noticed than the Austin, TX area was lacking a festival that championed bold, female filmmakers. So, she sought out to build her own.
