Women's History Month: Celebrating Women Creators
It's Women's History Month and we're celebrating some of the women making waves in the entertainment industry and winning major awards. This year, Chloé Zhao became the first woman of color and second woman overall to win the Best Director award at the Golden Globe Awards.
To celebrate these achievements, we've compiled a list of some of our favorite client projects directed, written, and produced by amazing women. From Julie Taymor's "The Glorias," a retelling of the life and influences of Gloria Steinem, to Eleanor Wilson's "Save Yourselves!," the tale of a couple going on a retreat right before an alien invasion, these powerful and impactful projects definitely will not disappoint.
