EXCLUSIVE: Paul Feig Mentors Female Filmmakers at 'Dinner With Dames' Event

Cinefemme invites Hollywood to tackle the gender diversity issue by sitting down for dinner with up and coming female writers, directors, producers, and other skilled department heads. Join us for Dinner with Dames! Mentors have the opportunity to provide direct but brief guidance, including a half hour follow up coffee with one woman. We would love to dine with studio executives, agents, attorneys, directors, producers, and other industry players with the goal of learning more about each other’s work and encouraging leaders to consider more female candidates next time they’re hiring.

 

Cinefemme will compile a group of women from different departments, ethnicities, the LGBTQ spectrum, and working mothers to cover a variety of perspectives on film work and some of its obstacles and set them up on a dinner date with leaders from across the industry.  If you are a woman with experience in the industry, we are accepting referrals to join us for dinner. Find us at a Cinefemme event and let us know that you're interested!
