Women Film Entrepreneurs Face ‘Grave Disparity’ in Funding, Study Finds
A study released by Women in Film Los Angeles finds that women-owned companies lag far behind men-owned companies in studio-subsidized film and TV deals.The report, titled “Women Entrepreneurs in the Screen Industries: Obstacles and Opportunities” and conducted by Pepperdine University associate professor Alicia Jessop, concludes that only 18.6% of studio-subsidized film deals and 35.7% of studio-subsidized television deals were with women-owned companies and only 18% of production companies with non-studio funding were women-owned.By comparison, the study released on Wednesday states that on average men-owned independent production companies receive more than seven times the amount of funding received by women-owned independent production companies.Said WIF Board president Amy Baer said in a statement: “The origin of this study was actually quite personal to the WIF Board. At a 2018 Board meeting, several highly accomplished women were sharing anecdotal frustrations about the obstacles to launching enterprise in the screen industry, while constantly watching men of equal experience and stature repeatedly and successfully land investment.
California may limit conservatorships, promote alternatives
election to the Legislature, Maienschein was a law clerk for a San Diego Superior Court judge who oversaw conservatorships.“I saw firsthand the role that the court plays in establishing conservatorships, and the potential for abuse,” he said during an online news conference. “The system in California is in desperate need of reform.”He called Spears “arguably the world’s most famous conservatee,” but said his bill would aid the many others who don't have "the benefit of worldwide fame to shine a light on her case.”Spears drew widespread attention to the issue, culminating in November when a Los Angeles judge ended the conservatorship that controlled the pop singer’s life and money for nearly 14 years."I believe that if AB1663 had been in effect 13 years ago, the court would have been unable to conserve Britney Spears, and now Britney's story lights the way for where changes in our laws need to be made," said Mark, of Disability Voices United.Advocates said it is unclear how many people are under conservatorships in California because the data isn't collected.
