In this episode, we sit down with two powerhouse leaders from WIFT+ Toronto (Women in Film and Television): Executive Director Karen Bruce and Foundation Board Member Tamara Shannon.
Despite years of advocacy, the film and television industry remains a challenging landscape for women to navigate. From the "complete reversal" of progress seen in recent director statistics to the persistent fight for pay equity, the need for disruption is louder than ever. Karen and Tamara join us to pull back the curtain on what is actually happening behind the scenes.
We dive deep into the evolution of WIFT+ Toronto into a beacon for inclusivity, the vital importance of mentorship in keeping women in the pipeline, and the specific actions we can all take to ensure women aren't just entering the industry—but leading it.
