Kevin reads from his compelling first page and shares the moment that sparked this book: a realization while moderating a panel of two legendary filmmakers at Comic Com that the voices of successful women directors—many of whom remain unsung—deserve a much bigger stage. With characteristic insight and heart, Kevin opens a window into the ingenious ways these innovative female filmmakers transcended barriers to create some of the most successful films of our times— from pioneering new ways of capturing story on film to masterfully turning obstacles into opportunities again and again. This episode honors the resilience and brilliance of women leaders behind the camera and their powerful collaborations in storytelling. You might be blown away by what you thought you knew about your most favorite films—who made them and why. Listen up and be inspired. "}
