Hollywood is a place where women don't need to be in front of the camera to shine. In fact, 15 remarkable women featured in Film Makers have a common trait: they are "first. Only. Different," as Shonda Rhimes puts it. These extraordinary women have revolutionized the film and television industry, earning awards traditionally awarded to male counterparts, being the sole woman in a writers room, or telling stories that no one else could. While their resumes are impressive, it's their lives that have made a greater impact in the communities they serve. Many of them, like Gina Prince-Bythewood and Greta Gerwig, mentor other women. Some, like Agnieszka Holland and ChloÉ Zhao, have stood up to those who seek to ignore or silence them. All of them tell their stories with passion and integrity, serving as role models and champions for future generations.

We hope these women will inspire you to use the tools of film to tell your own story!
