2020
In 2018, statistics show that women only hold 15% of the film industry. That includes above the line and below the line roles. Let’s change this.
In 2020, I am encouraging Production Companies, Executive Producers and Advertising Agencies to incorporate not only women Producers and Directors but crew members and post production artists.
Not only will this diversify your food for thought but this will bring new experiences and perspectives from creative development to the final deliverable.
All around the world, there are women in the film industry, in every role. Make it a goal of yours to connect. This will make a difference.
Girls need to see women. Women need to see women. Representation inspires, motivates and brings confidence to all of us, if we can see ourselves being apart of something bigger.
In Detroit, I brought together women filmmakers for a photoshoot not only to have a day where we feel beautiful but to reconnect with our own community and show our industry that WE are here.
I am proud to stand here strong with these beautiful women.
