Join 2011 Project Voicescape grantees Negesti Cantave and Morgan Wilcock on Monday, July 11, at 6 PM ET for a live chat about the future of the media industry from the perspective of young creative women.
The media industry is still largely a man’s world. In commercial film, only 7 percent of directors, 13 percent of writers and 20 percent of producers are female. How will the next generation of women media makers confront that reality?
