You're fighting to be the girlfriend in a dumb comedy?
00:04
Yeah.
00:05
For what?
00:06
Yeah.
00:14
If we see the same stories coming out of the same 20 people who are all men,
00:19
it's, you just don't, society doesn't change, we don't have different conversations,
00:23
and it's important to move forward.
00:30
We are determined to create complex, dynamic, human characters
00:35
that our mothers and daughters and sisters can all enjoy.
00:39
Studio heads thought I was crazy.
00:43
Like, too ambitious.
00:48
Because I'm not afraid of a challenge.
00:50
So I thought, well then I'll just start a company, self-funded,
00:53
and start developing roles for women.
00:55
We are determined to create complex, dynamic, human characters
00:58
that our mothers and daughters and sisters can all relate to.
01:16
It came out of frustration and just reading a lot of really bad scripts.
01:22
I have to create more and do better for other women,
01:25
and create opportunities for other women.
01:27
Everybody deserves a chance to tell their story.
01:29
I'm really excited that you guys are learning, you're just starting,
01:32
but I hope this is giving you building blocks
01:35
that are going to carry you through a lifetime.
01:37
Thank you for being here.
01:38
You guys excited to meet the future filmmakers of America?
01:42
Because here they are!
01:44
One, two, three.
01:47
We are more united as an industry than we have ever been.
01:50
Men and women determined to change our own industry,
01:54
but also shine a light on other industries,
01:57
because we get a lot of attention.
01:59
There are a lot of people in other industries
02:01
who don't get this opportunity to speak up.
02:08
I'm so excited to be here.
02:10
I'm so excited to be here.
02:12
I'm so excited to be here.
02:14
I'm so excited to be here.
02:19
I'm so grateful to a company like Disney
02:21
that really gets behind a filmmaker like Ava
02:23
to put a little girl in the center of her own story.
02:26
So I think this movie will really please a lot of the audience out there
02:30
that's looking for better representation.
02:44
I've always said, like,
02:46
why do they ask us about our dresses when we work so hard?
02:55
Ambition is not a dirty word.
02:58
It's just believing in yourself.
