***Please join us for a special edition of VFX Pros: Home Edition this Thursday, July 9th at 5pm PST -- Learn How to Spot and Shift Gender, Race & LGBTQI Bias

We naturally assign people into various social categories by traits, such as age, gender, race, and role. And some of our implicit or unconscious thinking includes stereotypes, which are traits that we associate with a category - and that can lead to discrimination if we are not careful.

How is Hollywood doing? What does that matter? And how do we make the unconscious conscious and change it?

Filmmaker and Nancy Malone Director of Inclusion Initiatives at the American Film Institute Tessa Blake will provide an incisive presentation on how to spot bias and how to change it, providing tangible ways that organizations, people and productions can make small changes that will make a big difference toward greater equity.

SIGN UP HERE - https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Snqy3VtaTqWaHQ-ESD4Mqg

Tessa Blake is an award-winning filmmaker and television director (VERONICA MARS, RIVERDALE, BLACKLIST, A MILLION LITTLE THINGS). An AFI Directing Workshop for Women alumna, Tessa’s films have premiered at Cannes and SXSW, have won awards at Nantucket Film Festival and the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, have been honored by the Academy, and released theatrically. As Director of the AFI Directing Workshop for Women, Tessa innovated dynamic programs to advance equality in the industry. Now serving as the Nancy Malone Director of Inclusion Initiatives at AFI, Tessa continues that work, finding meaningful opportunities for diverse alumni, and working with industry partners toward sustained change.

See you on Thursday....
