Women in Animation (WiA) has released a featurette during Annecy Film Festival highlighting the valuable work of its mentorship program.
The 14-minute video sees testimonies from both mentors – including animation writer Aydrea Walden, Alice Goldstone of Sony Pictures Animation and Pixar Animation’s Becki Tower – and mentees, many of whom have built portfolios and even gotten their first jobs after participating in the program. The program also caters to those who are further along in their careers and looking to make the next professional or creative jump.
“The one thing that we know for a fact is that there is no shortage of female talent,” WiA president and head of Crunchyroll Studios Marge Dean tells Variety. “Just looking at the numbers of women who pursue careers in animation by going to schools and really, any kind of entry level activity is usually overwhelmingly female.”
Yet those same women don’t seem to materialize in studios.

The 16th annual Black List survey was released on Monday, showcasing 80 of the most popular un-produced scripts from up-and-coming screenwriters.
This year’s list was compiled from suggestions of over 375 film executives, who contributed up to 10 feature screenplays that were written in, or somehow uniquely associated with 2020 and will not begin principal photography during the year. Scripts had to receive mentions from at least seven of those executives to be included on this year’s Black List.
The first survey was released in 2005. Since then many of the included scripts have gone on to be produced, often to great acclaim. Among the most notable entries are “Argo,” “Spotlight,” “Juno,” “American Hustle,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” and “The Revenant.” Recent Black List-appearing films include Melina Matsoukas’s 2019 movie “Queen & Slim,” written by Lena Waithe with a story co-authored by James Frey, which was featured on the 2018 Black List; and Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman,...
