PODCAST EPISODE 9: Women Directors Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges

In this episode of Wider Lens, Director, Writer, and DGC Ontario Chair Annie Bradley sits down with three women who also happen to be some of the most exciting Directors working today: Helen Shaver, Danishka Esterhazy, and Sam MacAdam. 

Helen, Danishka and Sam share their experiences in the film industry, how they define themselves and their worth as filmmakers, asserting your authority while still respecting everyone involved, and finding male allies who want to open doors for women Directors. Tune in to hear these Directors talk about the pressure to be perfect, if progress is really happening for women who dream of directing, and how vulnerability can be a feminine superpower.
