Women in Media and Impact24 Launch ‘Impactful Women: Process and Collaboration’ Digital Panel Series
Women in Media and Impact24 PR are collaborating for an exciting series of live digital panels spotlighting women behind-the-scenes of popular film and television projects. Together, they’ll sit down to discuss their craft and how they are champions for change in the entertainment industry.
The series begins with a conversation between the craftspeople who make so many projects look amazing: production designer Ina Mayhew (Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, Queen Sugar) and director Deborah Kampmeier (Queen Sugar, Hounddog).
The second installment of the series takes us in front of the camera with actress Tamlyn Tomita (Star Trek: Picard) and stunt performer Cheryl Lewis (Captain America: Civil War, Gotham).
To wrap up the series, we head to the technical side of projects with VFX Supervisor Brigitte Bourque of FuseFX (9-1-1: Lone Star) and VFX Production Manager, Volumetric Capture for Gentle Giant Studios Kathryn Brillhart (Star Trek: Picard S01).
Live audience Q&A to follow.
Panel Schedule:
April 30 @ 4 p.m. PT – Ina Mayhew & Deborah Kampmeier
May 7 @ 4 p.m. PT – Tamlyn Tomita & Cheryl Lewis
May 14 @ 4 p.m. PT – Brigitte Bourque & Kathryn Brillhart
The panels will take place over Zoom. Tickets may be purchased via Women In Media on Eventbrite.
