The 2016 Stage 32 Women Trailblazers

About the meetup

/'wɪmɪn//'treil/ /ˈbleɪzər/ [noun]: A female creative that kicks ass and takes names. They have paved the road for other female creatives that want to kick ass and take names.

Every film and television show is a collaborative effort, it’s not just the stars or directors you see in interviews or on the red carpet. It literally takes a tribe to make the gems we watch on the big and small screen. And an integral part of this tribe are women creatives, who roll up their sleeves day in and day out to create, refine, and perfect your favorite movies and television shows.

And it’s time we put the spotlight on them.

Stage 32 will recognize a few of these talented women who are making an impact in their respective fields as we honor our 2016 Women Trailblazers. In a special one-night event in LA, we’re bringing in women that are continuously making a difference through their impressive body of work and work ethic.
