SUMMARY:Thinking Outside the Box Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a discussion about episodic television directors Jennifer Arnold (Younger)\, Jennifer Phang (Resident Alien)\, Kelly Park (Punky Brewster)\, and Ro Haber (Pride). \nThis dynamic discussion with working episodic television directors covered prep\, production and post in a fast-paced environment; what happens in a tone meeting; how to communicate with actors on set; and each speaker’s unique career path. How do you break into directing television? How do you prepare to helm an episode of a popular show? What is it like being a “guest” on set? As productions resume and we return to set\, can we also use this opportunity to create a more inclusive\, humane and thoughtful work place?

What role can policy change play in equalizing the industry for women and parents? How does self-care contribute to boosting morale\, mindfulness and sparking and sustaining creativity in working parents. How can we support each other more in this industry and what can filmmakers without kids do to make equitable spaces for their parenting colleagues a reality?
