After the success of a film festival, the next logical step is to create a production company. 

• Steps in film: The BFFoundation was formed last year to host the Bentonville Film Festival this past August. The foundation’s new production company is called Bentonville Way Entertainment, its purpose being the same as the festival —to champion women, diverse and inclusive voices in filmmaking. 
• Already moving: The aim of BWE is to produce in Arkansas whenever possible and provide resources to local productions always. BWE already has films in the pipeline that feature Bentonville festival alumni. Three films are currently in preproduction, expected to go into production late this year and early next.
