Activism
I believe it's imperative to be a voice for change, constantly evaluating where we are, finding a path to the next level of advancement for women creatives in Hollywood. As an experienced director and former chair of the DGA Women's Steering Committee, I mentor, teach, and advise, working to boost my peers. I've written dozens of articles about gender parity in the film and television industry that you will find below, as well as links to interviews. I'm honored to be featured in the Geena Davis produced doc THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING, as well as HALF THE PICTURE, and Bloomberg News CELLULOID CEILINGS, and proud to be a SheSource for The Women's Media Center.
