Today on the show we have award-winning filmmaker, actress, author, speaker, women in film activist and force of nature Naomi McDougall Jones. Many of the IFH Tribe might remember Naomi from her first appearance on the show talking about her distribution adventures with her film Bite Me. You can listen to that episode here: Making Money Self Distributing Your Indie Film with Naomi McDougall Jones
Bite Me, is a subversive romantic comedy about a real-life vampire and the IRS agent who audits her. The film premiered at Cinequest, won Best Feature Film at VTXIFF, and then went on to the innovative, paradigm-shifting Joyful Vampire Tour of America in summer 2019, a 51-screening, 40-city, three-month, RV-fueled eventized tour that involved Joyful Vampire Balls, capes, a docu-series and a whole lot of joy.
Naomi’s first book, The Wrong Kind of Women: Inside Our Revolution to Dismantle the Gods of Hollywood, is now available wherever books are sold in hardcover, audiobook, and e-book. It debuted as the #1 New Release on Amazon. It is a brutally honest look at the systemic exclusion of women in film-an industry with massive cultural influence-and how, in response, women are making space in cinema for their voices to be heard.
Naomi has been a vocal advocate for bringing gender parity to film, both on and off-screen. She has spoken at film festivals and conferences around the world and written extensively on this subject. Naomi’s TEDTalk on these issues and what to do about them, “What it’s Like to Be a Woman in Hollywood, has been viewed over a million times.

Love the boxing and shrapnel jokes. Love Naomi's insights and encouragement the best. Making my own party.

Alex, are you reposting 2+ year old content? I’m confused thinking this was a current interview.

[@fourth1000]

James Cameron had no respect while doing Aliens- he dealt with people trying to take his job on set.
Same with Fincher on Alien 3.
Look what happened to Zack Snyder while doing Justice League

[@fourth1000]

I disagree with all of this. Women can easily make it as directors.. their first inclination isn't to do generic movies that audiences go to see. But they kick ass in indie film but those films aren't what Hollywood is looking for... Unless you're Kathryn Bigelow.
Especially during this current age that lacks the mid budget movie.

Is this going to be some woke girl power diatribe?

[@robertruffo2134]

It's not. Calm yourself
