BBC News - Women in Hollywood, The Producers

Producers Keri Putnam and Stephanie Allain on why so few women get to make movies.

Kim Chakanetsa meets producers Keri Putnam and Stephanie Allain to ask what is getting in the way of achieving gender parity in film-making.

In the 94-year-history of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, only seven women have ever been nominated in the Best Director category. Why is that? And what is getting in the way of achieving gender parity in film-making? 

Kim Chakanetsa travels to the heart of Hollywood and meets Keri Putnam, a film executive and producer and the founder of Putnam Pictures, and Stephanie Allain, a film producer and writer, and the newly elected co-president of the Producers Guild of America.
