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.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
