Naomi McDougall Jones : What it's like to be a woman in Hollywood


Naomi McDougall Jones at TEDxBeaconStreet 2016
What it's like to be a woman in Hollywood  (transcript)
Summary
Still, there are entrenched systems that don't changed because we ask the people in charge who has all of the money, power, and resources, and then they don't want to give it up. Then it prevents from doing anything in our life because we are women.
The speaker noticed that there were the systems in Hollywood and she came here to make the change happen through a revolution.
She created a female filmmaker to be able to show better female characters. There is a revolution for not only women but also people who are deprived of the right and whose story has not been told.
The movies affect not only our hobbies but also our career choices, emotions, sense of identity, relationships, and mental health, even marital status. Those are the mechanisms that we can learn the process of being alive, and those are the ways that we understand the world and our place in it, that we develop empathy for people who have different experiences from us.
Hre hopes are to make movies, to invest in each other, disrupt through business and to watch movies more.
The most important thing is not to create them with one perspective.
