A few months ago, Elizabeth and Nitza from The Writers Lab approached me with a simple question: “What percentage of movies are written by women over the age of 40?”
The Writers Lab is an organisation set up specifically to nurture the talent of female screenwriters over the age of 40, via workshops, labs and advocacy. They describe their mission as being to “amplify the voices of women in their prime whose stories have not been told… working toward a new landscape where the female narrative is in equal proportion to the male narrative”.
A fascinating question in support of a good cause – just my kinda thing!
