Alice Snaden has written a short film that is being produced by an entirely female team. Moon Dogwas selected for a mentorship programto help women advance in leadership roles in the movie industry.

"At times, it's a lot of pain, because there's a lot of reckoning with truth, that people have to come forward and own," she said during an interview with Windsor Morning host Tony Doucette. "I feel very honoured, and I really own the responsibility of being an active participant in this tidal wave."

Snaden is still raising money to pay for the production through an Indiegogocampaign.

She said the two-day shoot for the short film will be done next month.
