Join us for a Luminary-exclusive event with Laura Mignott, CEO of DFlash, a New York-based event marketing & production company and creator/host of the highly rated Reset Podcast, who will interview writer, actress, producer, and women-in-film activist Naomi McDougall Jones about her just-released debut book, The Wrong Kind of Women: Inside Our Revolution to Dismantle the Gods of Hollywood. The book 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.
Laura and Naomi will give an insiders look at the historic and current realities of being a woman in Hollywood, the impact the images produced by such an overwhelmingly white and male are collectively having on our psyches, and what Naomi and women like her are doing to transform the industry.
The Wrong Kind of Women is receiving an electric early response, with reviewers calling it "bold," "convincing," "passionate," "well-written," "urgent," and "necessary," and Publishers Weekly writing, "Film viewing will never be the same after reading Jones' insightful look at the reality of being female in Tinseltown." Rose McGowan said of the book, “We need truth. The curtain must be pulled back, and Naomi McDougall Jones has done just that.”
