Women in Film Chicago 2010 Kick Off Party! January 25, 2010 If you are following me on twitter you know I have been running behind the VIP scenes at Sundance (if not, click here)! last night for example, I was invited to hear one of “variety magazine’s top 10 directors to watch” ms. floria sigismondi speak about her amazing new film “the runaways” w/ Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning! It made me think a lot about women in Film, so thought I would throw a shout out to them today! My Chicago buddy Selina hood, from bridges media group who I won my EMMY with, introduced me to an excellent group actually called “Women in Film” (wif) who for the last 30yrs has been building a global community of film, television, advertising and digital media professionals. WIF is actually the preeminent organization (the group boasts 6800 members just in the US with 12,000 internationally!) for the advancement of women in these industries. Being so impressed and wanting to support, we helped to host the 2010 Women in Film Chicago Kick-Off Party at The Underground this Thursday the 28th. I also want to support (and hope you do too) because… If you are following me on twitter you know I have been running behind the VIP scenes at Sundance (if not, click here)! last night for example, I was invited to hear one of “variety magazine’s top 10 directors to watch” ms. floria sigismond,i speak about her amazing new film “the runaways” w/ Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning!
