Sisters, as well as mothers, daughters, aunts, nieces and other women, plus three guys, got together to discuss the condition of contemporary cinema for for the treated-unfairer sex this week over breakfast.
Hosted by Glamour Magazine and Suave at the Simon LA restaurant (good fruit) located in the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills, talks focused around the filmmakers behind the lenses of the short film series - Glamour Reel Moments.
On hand were Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith (Legally Blonde; House Bunny); Leslie Russo, Glamour Executive Producer; Francesca Silvestri, Producer, Freestyle; and Jean Lee, Associate Brand Manager, Unilever.
The conversations between the panelists and the attendees were healthy; aspiring female filmmakers heard firsthand what it takes to make it in Hollywood as a woman: luck, perseverence and, most importantly, a completed script (not just a plan for one).
