ABOUT US

Building community around film

Our Mission

Rocky Mountain Women’s Film builds community around film by elevating the stories of women and others who are often unheard or unseen.

Our Vision

Rocky Mountain Women’s Film envisions community connected through the power of film.

The power of film

We. Love. Film! Films can change our mood — make us laugh, cry, gasp, swoon; they can change our mind — bring up questions, show us a different angle, provoke a conversation. They entertain us and capture our imaginations. They transport us to another world; they shine a light on the issues plaguing ours.

As a film organization, we want to cultivate the joy of experiencing film and harness the power of films that help people communicate and connect with each other around that shared experience.

Our values

Rocky Mountain Women’s Film was founded and will continue to be led by women because we believe in the unique power, connection, and strength in women-led community.

Along with our mission to amplify and elevate a wider range of voices through film, we are committed to these values that drive our organization.

Community

Diversity

CURIOSITY + Enrichment

Quality

Respect

The power of under-represented voices

From our origins of elevating the under-represented voice of
women, we seek out and amplify the voices that need to be heard in our community through our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

STAFF

Nicole Nicoletta

Executive Director

Nicole has been attending the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival since the early 90’s. She marvels at the power of film to connect, educate, and inspire people. She thrives on teamwork, group discussion, and creating space for all voices to have a seat at the table. Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Nicole has a deep love for the Pikes Peak region and brings an expansive professional and social network to the RMWF community.

Prior to joining RMWF Nicole spent her career in community organizing, non-profit management, government, and higher education.

Favorite Activities: hiking, cooking, and spending time with family!

Linda Broker

Artistic Director

Linda’s passion for film as a catalyst for community began when she started volunteering for the festival in 1994. During the following seven years, she served the festival in various capacities, including Programming chair and Operations chair, before being hired as the first executive director of the organization in 2001.

Linda has led the organization through a period of tremendous growth and today RMWF has an active year-round presence. Her current role as Artistic Director nows allows her to spend more time doing what she loves most: setting the artistic vision and curatorial direction for all aspects of year-round programming.

Favorite Activities: traveling, hiking, and discussing films

Karen To

Technical Director

Karen’s journey with RMWF began as an attendee back in the days when “streaming” meant rewinding a VCR tape and hoping it didn’t eat your favorite movie. In 2009, Karen leveled up to volunteer status, bravely facing the wild world of festival logistics, and by 2025, she was officially hired — proving that persistence (and possibly a knack for tech and website voodoo) pays off.

Favorite Activities: hiking (like everyone else on the team), baking, crafting, and keeping the website in tip-top shape

Kathy Stults

Development Officer

Kathy has spent over two decades serving in multiple capacities for RMWF. She founded and continues to direct the Youth Outreach Program, offered in conjunction with the festival. She is also the primary driver of our sponsorship program, fostering and maintaining relations with all the folks who keep RMWF going.

In addition to her work at RMWF, Kathy has spent the past 49 consecutive years working with at-risk youth in school settings.

Favorite Activities: hiking, dancing, biking, eating soul food, and asking people to support RMWF.
