“Women need to support women, and women who have access to funding need to fund other women.” That's Amy Hobby, Executive Director of the Tribeca Film Institute and also an Emmy Award-winning producer, talking about co-founding Tangerine Entertainment with Anne Hubbell, a production company dedicated to producing and building a community for films directed by women.
