In January, WIF (Women In Film LA) released an extensive research study, along with Pepperdine University, examining the grave disparities in funding for women entrepreneurs in the screen industries.

- The barriers that have led to these low numbers; and
- The needed strategies to promote entrepreneurship and drive more funding to women-owned screen industry companies.
