All Girls Film Challenge 2015: Panel Discussion (VIDEO)

I recently sat on a panel for a great discussion on young women making careers for themselves in film.

The Puget Sound All Girls Film Challenge is a yearly competition in which young women create 2-4 minute films on a chosen theme. They also feature screenings, panels, networking events, and a summer camp. Their goal is to "give young women filmmakers in the Puget Sound area the opportunity to create films that showcase their perspective, juried by experienced women filmmakers and screened at high profile, high quality events that help to connect our students with women in the media industry."
