Ted Talk - Girls in Film, Alicia Malone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk_5KQzstew
Notes
- 'lack of girls in film' - directors
- 100 top-grossing films of 2012, 4.1% of directors were women
- 'lack of women working behind the scenes'
- 'not getting their perspective told on screen'
- 'lack of interesting female characters'
- San Diego State University, top films of 2014, 12% had a female protagonist.
- 'women's stories are simply not being told'
- Connecting through story-telling
- 'audiences learn about the world through films and they learn about themselves'
- Stereotypes instead of role models
- Charlize Theron 'how rare it was to find a character which is not just strong, but also allowed to be broken and vulnerable, in short, human'
