Last time anyone did the stats in Canada, only about 17% of scripted television shows were directed by women. What does it take for a woman to break into the lucrative and exciting world of TV directing? From making indie short films to directing episodes of Murdoch Myteries, Sherren Lee has done it successfully. In this episode, we talk to Sherren and Rina Fratecelli, director of Women in View, about the transition to TV and WIV’s initiative 2XMore, a program that aims to double the number of women directing scripted shows.
