"A fundamentalist is a person who considers whether a fact is acceptable to their faith before they explore it." - Seth Godin This applies to everything you do beyond religion. Harvard psychology professor, Ellen Langer, pointed out how mindless people are in business; we find the very best way of doing things, and keep doing things that way, even though contexts may change. No matter what you’re doing—eating a sandwich, doing an interview, working on some gizmo, writing a report—you’re doing it mindfully or mindlessly. When you do it mindfully, curiosity is always present. As a result, you might try different ways. When you do it mindlessly, you never question. You become a fundamentalist.

Why We Need More Women Directors and Producers in the Film Industry The film industry has long been a powerful platform for storytelling, shaping the way we view the world and influencing societal norms. Yet, for far too long, women have been underrepresented in key creative roles such as directors and producers. This is not just a matter of fairness or equality; it’s about the quality of stories we tell and how authentically we portray diverse experiences. Women bring a unique perspective. When women step into leadership roles in filmmaking, they bring with them lived experiences, insights, and narratives that are often missing from the male-dominated world of film. Women directors and producers shine a light on stories that might otherwise go untold—stories of resilience, love, hardship, and empowerment that resonate deeply with audiences across the globe. Their vision helps us break away from the traditional tropes and create content that feels fresh, honest, and inclusive. Diverse stories matter. In an industry that thrives on creativity, we need a diversity of voices at the helm to reflect the complexity of human experiences. Women directors and producers are essential in ensuring that women’s stories are not only told but told authentically. From intimate dramas to bold thrillers, women are capable of leading across all genres, bringing nuance and depth to characters that may otherwise be one-dimensional. Their leadership can also challenge and dismantle stereotypes, creating richer and more diverse representations of all people, regardless of gender. Closing the gender gap benefits everyone. The call for more women directors and producers is not just about representation; it’s about progress. Films directed and produced by women often bring financial success, critical acclaim, and cultural relevance. Moreover, gender diversity on set fosters a more collaborative and inclusive work environment, benefiting both the cast and crew. When women are given opportunities to lead, the entire industry evolves for the better. It’s time for change. While we’ve seen progress in recent years, with women like Chloé Zhao, Greta Gerwig, Ava DuVernay, and others making a tremendous impact, there is still a long way to go. We need to ensure that more women are given the chance to direct and produce major projects, from blockbuster films to independent productions. This means creating pathways for women in film schools, production companies, and Hollywood studios, while challenging the systemic biases that have historically kept women out of leadership roles. Let’s invest in the future of film by supporting women in leadership. An industry where women are not just present but thriving in leadership roles. The time for change is now.
