After receiving the More Than Words award and $15,000 for our charity, Harlequin published an eBook inspired by Kid Flicks. Click here to read Maxwell’s Smile.

We all have the power to effect change–we just need to find the strength to harness it. With every good deed done, and helping hand offered, we are making the world a better place. The dedicated women selected as this year’s recipients of Harlequin’s More Than Words award have changed many lives for the better, through their compassionate hearts and unshakable commitment. To celebrate their accomplishments, bestselling authors have written stories inspired by these real-life heroines.

In this book, Michele Hauf honors the work of the Barta sisters–Berni, Romi, Lexi and Marni Barta–and the not-for-profit organization that they founded, Kid Flicks.

We hope More Than Words inspires you look inside your heart and to get in touch with the heroine inside of you.

The objective of the festival is to honor excellence in student filmmaking, and it is open to all California high‐school students in grades 9 through 12.  The theater was filled for this year’s show, which opened with a conversation between Oscar-nominated directors Kathryn Bigelow and Jason Reitman ’95 (a few weeks after Bigelow had won an Oscar for her work on the film The Hurt Locker).

This year’s festival directors decided to incorporate philanthropy into the evening. Attendees were asked to bring used or new DVDs appropriate for children and donate them to Kid Flicks
