A while ago we launched a blog series about “Inspirational women in the film industry”. Today we would like to open the 4th chapter by interviewing Mari Bakke Riise, an award-winning documentary director and producer. She has worked over a decade with documentaries and documentary series. Her documentary “Kayayo – The Living Shopping Baskets” won numerous international first prize awards and got shortlisted for an Oscar at the 90th Academy Award.
Introducing the third story of our blog series “Inspirational women in the film industry”, we are incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to speak with our esteemed new jury member Catherine Legge, who is an award-winning executive producer, showrunner, director and writer of documentary films and series with 25 years of experience in the business.
Today we continue with our blog series “Inspirational women in the film industry”. This time, we had the chance to talk to Lisa Scheid, who is one of the few female CEOs in the film production business. She runs the creative production company Das R& in Austria, which not only creates big budget TV spots, but also innovative and entertaining video formats.
Today, we are introducing our newest blog series “Inspirational women in the film industry”. With this series we aim to motivate, inspire, and empower our female readers by sharing the success stories of women in the film industry who probably had the same questions, had to deal with the same issues and struggles, but who, with a lot of patience, hard work and passion, achieved to stand up in this male-dominated business.
