Women In Film: Protecting The Talent Pipeline for a New Hollywood

In the independent space outside of the studio system of Hollywood, the same DEI issues that permeate the gig economy are impacting not just the stories that get told, but the work lives of myriad women and underrepresented professionals. In this conversation with Kirsten Schaffer, Director of Women In Film (WIF), Laura explores the protections that are needed for workers throughout the industry, the powerful role WIF plays in creating innovative solutions to everything from “manels” to sexual harassment, and Kirsten’s insights on what it takes to become an anti-racist leader.
