064 / Representation in Entertainment with Laura Hunter Drago

Published: Aug. 4, 2021, 5:07 a.m.

Who doesn\u2019t love a good movie? Getting lost in a story or having a good cry, disconnecting from everyday life, just to be entertained.\nUnfortunately, it doesn\u2019t take much to recognize how our entertainment reinforces stereotypes and gender expectations.\nOn this episode, I\u2019m joined by Laura Hunter Drago - Award Winning Film Producer, Member of SAG AFTRA and Women In Media, and Assistant Editor in Chief of Ms. In The Biz. Laura co-founded New Girl Pictures, a production company that\u2019s committed to getting women into positions both in front of and behind the camera.\nRepresentation does matter and we need women in key roles that will share our stories honestly and with care. I for one am excited to see women with complex, full and imperfect lives. And for the love of God, more women who go to bed without a full set of makeup on...who does that?!\nIt\u2019s time we hear the real stories of real women, and I guarantee it will be plenty entertaining.\nThis Is Woman\u2019s Work.\nTo learn more about Laura Hunter Drago please visit: laurahunterdrago.com\nTo learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com
