Today I launched my Kickstarter campaign for Not Another Pretty Face, a film about gender inequality in Hollywood. Various producers are currently tip-toeing around the idea of donating money to the campaign but I know I need the support of blogs like this to get my movie made. I don’t want to sit back and just have an opinion. As a man I don’t want to just mind my words and conduct. I want to help bring the incredible talented women I know into the positions they are qualified for. I want to inspire women and men as well as shame and embarrass misogynists by making them look in the mirror. I made the decision to crowd fund this movie just after the Oscar’s when I heard Kate Blanchett’s speech after winning best actress for her role in Blue Jasmine. After that I knew I wanted to be part of the solution, to support women in my industry, and make some kind of stride towards change.
