Check out this amazing opportunity, especially ladies interested in documentary/investigative filmmaking!
Individual acts of resistance, like those from Meryl Streep, Ava DuVernay and Rose McGowan, only go so far
Women are not only discouraged from creating their own content, but if that content is not commercially successful the first time they are prevented from trying again.
Geena Davis and CreativeChaos vmg are launching a partnership to produce an untitled feature documentary on gender disparity in Hollywood. “I’ve been encouraged by my peers speaking out…
“I’ve been encouraged by my peers speaking out on gender disparity in recent years, but we still are not seeing the actual number change,” Davis told Variety. “There’s been no real improvement in the number of female roles since 1946 and there’s still a dearth of female directors.”
A new literary prize worth $50,000 US ($63,370.00) will honour unpublished work featuring women as lead characters, in hopes
If you've read R29, gone to the movies, or, you know, lived in this world as a woman in the last year, then the following will not come as a surprise to you. The numbers on women in Hollywood are not good. We know men outnumber us both in front of and behind the camera. We know they get paid
“The 4%: Film's Gender Problem is a series of six documentary shorts that offers up a powerful perspective on the issue with insights from leaders in the industry. Actress Amanda Peet, for instance, puts it like this, "You’re either on the phone or waving goodbye at the doorstep to your husband, or boyfriend, or brother, or father, who’s going off to begin the plot of the movie." Sound familiar?”
Watch, watch, watch!
The incubator program, led by Indigenous Media, has partnered with directors like Leslie Linka Glatter and Betty Thomas to create mentorships for new talent.
This project, "Made by Women" is an incubator focused on producing dramatic series programming helmed by women, the second incubator project by Indigenous Media. The company is also collaborating with Women in Film Los Angeles, the Producers Guild of America's Women's Impact Network, the Women's Project Lab, the Alliance of Women Directors, the Kilroys and the Lillys to each identify three candidates and assign them to mentors. Based on writing samples, each mentor will select one candidate in order to guide them through the process of creating a pilot script.
FYI!
Your move, Hollywood.
With Sundance about to start and an ongoing drumbeat for gender parity in Hollywood, women in the film industry offered bracing tales of what to expect -- and encouraging words to keep at it -- to ...
“At the academic level, filmmakers average about 50/50 in terms of gender breakdown,” she said. “Every step of the ladder that you go, as projects involve more money and higher prestige, those numbers drop off. You get fewer and fewer women.
“But what’s incredible,” she added, “is that right now, everyone is aware of it. People are noticing.”
“Don’t quit.”
Vimeo's new project will fund at least five female-lead film projects this year.
Fuck. YES!
Women made up 9 percent of the filmmakers behind the top-grossing movies in 2015, up from 7 percent the year before.
“The latest study on gender equality in Hollywood found that last year, women accounted for 9 percent of the directors of the 250 top-grossing domestic films. This might not sound great, but it’s an improvement over 2014, when women made up just 7 percent of directors for those films. The 2015 result put women on par with the level achieved in 1998.”
Finally! What we’ve always dreamed of!.... To Be back where we were in 1998.
Keep making films, ladies.
Female directors rise only 2% from 2014, reach 1998 levels
Women comprised 9% of directors on the top 250 domestic grossing films and 12% of directors on the top 500 domestic grossing films, according to a new report by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. That’s a slight, 2% improvement over the previous year, but the same representation women enjoyed in 1998, a sign of the durability of this particular celluloid ceiling.
“It takes a long time for big industries to change their behavior,” said Dr. Martha Lauzen, the center’s executive director and the study’s author. “It would be unrealistic to expect that attitudes about women as directors to change over night, but nothing in this data suggests that change is on the horizon.”

Why do women say "sorry" so often? What does it meant to have it all?
!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!
An unprecedented number of high-profile female actors decried industry sexism in 2015. But will change come from Washington?
“If you’re good enough, you’re gonna work. All this other stuff to me is just smoke screen.”
“It’s a question like why there are more white basketball or football players in America. Most of them are black, or from another country. Why is that? The only answer to that is that they compete and that they’re better! Wherever women can compete, they get the jobs. I don’t know anyone who’s prejudiced against African-Americans or women, I’ve just never seen it. Why is that there are more black athletes? Because they’re better. So what should we do? Should we get some legislation or pass some rules that there have to be more white players? No, you can’t do that!”
—William Friedkin, Director of The Exorcist
