Hands up if you make an effort to support films written/directed by and starring women! We don't exclude movies made by men and featuring largely male casts, of course – my niece Lauren and I enjoyed “The Public,” written and directed by Emilio Estevez, who also starred in the movie along with Jena Malone, Gabrielle Union, Taylor Schilling, Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater, Michael K Williams and Jeffrey Wright. 🎥 But according to Emmy-winning actress @ShorehAghdashloo, only 7% of directors in the US are female; in Europe, 27%. I don't have the Canadian stats, but either way, we'd like to see a balanced movie industry and world in general, where gender doesn't impact the careers and livelihoods of young women like my nieces, Erin (17), Lauren (12), Gracie (3) and Hattie (2). 👊🏻 #WorthSaying #ShareHerJourney #FeminismMeansEquality #Sisterhood #FemalePower #LOrealTIFF #fistbump #Beautygeeks (at David Pecaut Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/BntcIvpBt7L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jcfhl6brrnuo
