"We should take off the elitist barriers to entry." Thank you Forbes for hosting this conversation with our founder, Ava DuVernay. The first Black woman to direct a $100 million-grossing film is shunning the studios and their rules — and turning to philanthropists like Melinda French Gates. The Hollywood filmmaker is breaking the norm in securing independent financing for her projects. She sat down with ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath to talk about how she's finding freedom to make the stories she feels she "needs" to tell. Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/gaV8GYpd
