CYBILL SHEPHERD RECEIVES MARCIA NASATIR AWARD AT SAN ANTONIO FILM FESTIVAL

SAFILM - San Antonio Film Festival honored legendary actress Cybill Shepherd with the FIRST EVER Marcia Nasatir Award at the 25th Anniversary celebration in August. Anne Goursaud, Director of A CLASSY BROAD, presented Cybill with the award as Marcia who was unable to travel to San Antonio for the 2019 event. Cybill was thrilled to receive the honor as referred to Marcia as a legendary pioneer who paved the way for women.

San Antonio/LA Soiree - SA Film Festival

This past Sunday, Marcia hosted a SA/LA Soiree for Executive Director and Founder of the San Antonio Film Festival, Adam Rocha, along with his A-list team - his wife Susan and best friend Martin - during their trip to Los Angeles. Adam was in town scouting for studio films, independent features, panelists and experts to attend the 23rd annual film festival in San Antonio. 

Last year, A Classy Broad was an official selection of the San Antonio Film Festival, and Rocha awarded Nasatir with a Lifetime Achievement Award, being a native San Antonian and glass ceiling breaker. 

We were thrilled to return the favor and introduce Adam to notable Hollywood movers and shakers to attract more attention to South Texas' LARGEST Film Festival. 

This year's festival will be held August 1-6th and word on the street is that there will be a new award given out to an outstanding female filmmaker who strives to break glass ceilings. That award will be The Mogulette - The Marcia Nasatir Award.
