It’s a bold new film series from the Women’s Fund and Milwaukee Film that’s elevating the voices of women on and off the screen.
“This is by far our most significant grant into the film industry in our history,” said Lisa Attonito, executive director. “And it’s the first of what we hope will be several years of investment of this size.”
In this episode of WUWM’s Lake Effect, Lisa and Milwaukee Film’s Susan Kerns share with host Audrey Nowakowski how this collaboration came to life, and why it matters for gender equity in storytelling and beyond.
