Women Can Feel Inspired By The Story.

The Film Festival Is In A Town In Arkansas, A Quintessentially American Town With A Little Town Square. It's To Champion Women And Diversity In All Media, So Tv, Movies, Eventually, Digital, Whatever You Get Into. That's The Goal. We're Using The Same Philosophy As My Institute, Which Is To Make It Research-based And Really Try To Work Directly With Filmmakers And Content Creators And Move The Needle. It's The Only Film Festival In The World Where The Prizes Are Guaranteed Distribution.

I Would Say How Important It Is That We Stop Teaching Kids, From The Beginning, That Boys Are More Important Than Girls. It's The 21st Century, You Know, Let's Go Here. We Have To Show Kids That Boys And Girls Share The Sandbox Equally And Do Equally Interesting Things. We're Teaching Kids Something That We Have To Try To Get Rid Of Later On. Why Not Just Stop Filling Them With Unconscious Gender Bias?

Obviously, Movies Don't Almost Ever Shoot In Sequence.

What Are We Doing That For In The 21st Century? Why On Earth Would We Teach Kids That Girls Are Less Important Than Boys? It Just Made No Sense To Me.
