Welcome to season two of Give Her A Microphone! We welcome Kirsten Schaffer, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Women In Film, one of the entertainment industry’s leading organizations that advocates for women in the screen industries. The goal for Kirsten and Women In Film is to achieve parity and transform culture. Something that we are consistantly addressing here on the show! We are so happy Kirsten is here!

Kirsten has been instrumental in launching ReFrame, an industry-wide initiative to advance inclusivity and gender equity, as well as starting a variety of programs at Women In Film to increase the skill set and opportunity for film and TV makers. Kirsten Schaffer was also the Director of Programming and then Executive Director of Outfest prior to Women In Film. She is widely credited as having grown Outfest into the leading LGBTQIA+ media arts organization that it is today. Kirsten shares her extensive experience in advocacy for women in the entertainment industry and what is working and what is not. Join us as Kirsten shares her unique perspective and the lessons she's learned along the way. #WIF #Hollywood #femalefilmmakers #WomenInFilm #womendirectors #femaleCEO #filmherstory ##femalefilmmaker #womeninfilm #filmmaker #femaledirector #filmmaking #femalefilmmakers #femalefilmmakerfriday #film #indiefilm #director #indiefilmmaker #filmfestival #actress #shortfilm #producer #behindthescenes #production #womenfilmmakers #femaledirectors #setlife #cinematographer #filmmakers #actor #cinematography #femalewriter #indiefilmmaking #filmproduction #writer #onset
