This is a blog post not related to Ghosts and Space but more to the film industry in general. Last week I stumbled across an article in Variety about the production company Pacific Standard run by Bruna Papandrea and Reese Witherspoon. It is dedicated to the goal of producing and developing film roles for women, especially for women over 30 (where the content starts to be thin). They have already released two films Gone Girl and Wild which have both been critically acclaimed and the audiences have been engaged with. I think it is very exciting to see production companies that are bringing more diversity to the big screen. I share the goal of bringing more diverse voices into the main stream, when there are different people the behind the scenes as well as on the screens then the landscape will shift.

Also, there is also the production company Dollhouse collective, run by 5 Australian actors and filmmakers who are committed to “telling stories with a strong female presence” as said by one of the co-owners Gracie Otto. Also, not just limited to film but also developing content in television and theatre.

Looking forward to what they produce!
