The women behind #makeitfair, a new group calling for gender equality, decided to create a new video underscoring the wealth of female talent that often goes untapped. Below, check out the video featuring more than 70 creative women, including Rita Wilson, Mamie Gummer, Annie Parisse, Kathleen Chalfant, Jessica Hecht and Orfeh.
The video was conceived and written by Patricia Noonan, Nadia Quinn, and Emily Tarver, and directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt. With original music by Zoe Sarnak and Nadia Quinn, music direction by Zoe Sarnak, cinematography and editing by Crystal Arnette, and produced by Patricia Noonan, Nadia Quinn, and Emily Tarver in association with Erica Rotstein.
In it, statistics highlighting gender inequality in everything from film roles to government leadership are interspersed with a beautifully satirical song, yearning for a world where men get to have 100% of everything.
As #makeitfair moves forward, the women involved will continue to raise awareness, ask tough questions, celebrate female talent, connect female artists to opportunities, laugh, create, and broaden the scope of the stories being told.
