Women in Entertainment: 7th Annual Summit
On February 28, 2024 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, Women in Entertainment hosted yet another phenomenal gathering of women and allies, and I had the pleasure of attending. This is one in a series of posts about the event sharing personal highlights and excellent quotes that felt worth sharing. I hope you find everything as interesting and worthwhile as I did.
This panel focused on new distribution options for feature films.
