Why it's time to recognise production at the top table

Ode to producers! It’s high time they bring us to the table

Going Solo

I was published in the Thrive Global community under "storyteller, cultural alchemist and impromptu dancer." Love it! Going Solo is the series I created that's a"just do it!" for the soul. But do what? That is the soul-seeking million dollar question. There's only one way to find out: Spirited exploration! #goingsolo #goingsoloseries #spiritedexploration #goingsolo2018 #flamencafilms Shout out to David Thomsenhttps://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/13081-going-solo

Don’t Let Female Creators Be Collateral Damage When Male Abusers Go Down

What's happening is for the greater good...and yet, women are still paying the price with the ripple effect. https://splinternews.com/don-t-let-female-creators-be-collateral-damage-when-mal-1820393875?utm_source=splinter_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2017-11-13

It was Thanksgiving 2015. We were home for a much-appreciated break from trying to break into Hollywood; so far we had amassed a successful YouTube channel and the possibility of a lot more. While out shopping with our respective moms in New York and Florida, Gaby saw the news first. She immediately...

These Women Entrepreneurs Created A Fake Male Cofounder To Dodge Startup Sexism

Yup. Sounds about right. My great aunt in California had a company that sold combs and she went by H. Browne. Her name was Helen, but everybody corresponded with her as Mr. Browne. Looks like we still need to play this game. What are your thoughts? Trina

Penelope Gazin and Kate Dwyer faced a lot of sexism and condescension when they launched their e-commerce marketplace for weird art–that is until they introduced an imaginary cofounder named Keith.

It's not because Latinas are not interesting, complex beings...what's up? We got some ideas for you! "The study also found that of the 100 top movies of last year, 54 did not include Latinx speaking characters at all, a discrepancy that increased to 72 films when looking at Latina characters specifically."

Pledge to Free The Bid

http://freethebid.com
Beyond excited to be included on Free The Bid as a female director. Agencies and brands are getting on board, pledging to include at least one female director in each commercial bid. When on 7% of directors are women, we need to change the ratio. Next goal for me? Where are the other Latina directors? Please make any recommendations you may have by sending me a note. Thank you to the wildly talented director, Alma Harel, for carrying the torch and bringing us together! Love, Trina #trinabardusco #womeninadvertising #femaledirectors #changetheratio #womendirectors #freethebid #support http://freethebid.com

FREE THE BID is an Initiative guaranteeing women directors an equal opportunity to bid on commercial jobs in the advertising world.

It’s so important for us to add our point of view into the spectrum of the stories being told out there” — Sandra Delgado, Actress Herein is what makes Trina Bardusco's…

The Girls We Should Thank for Kickstarting Hollywood

So let's get this straight---there were more women writing, directing and producing in 1910 than there are now?

Did you know know that half of all the films copyrighted in between 1911 and 1925 were written by women? A hundred years ago women were involved in nearly every aspect of production and held key positions in the industry. Alice Guy-Blaché, a Parisian secretary, was the first person believed to ha

Actually, Women Do Ask For Raises As Often As Men--They Just Don't Get Them

Boom. In Iceland, where women earn an average of 14% less than men, women left their desks at 2:38 p.m., leaving their workdays 14% unfinished—right at the point where that pay discrepancy kicked in. #equalpay #futureisfemale

A recent study shows that women know what they're worth and aren't afraid to ask for it. It's their employers that don't.

Data Exposes Gender Fault Lines [INFOGRAPHIC]

Well, if you really wanna know why we are demanding more: only 8% of all film directors are women, only 19% are producers, and 13% are writers. Are we telling our own stories? I don't think so. #genderinequality #filmonomics #slated

Analysis of 2010-­2015 released films proves systemic gender bias against all women in film, despite better box office performance.
