EP 222: Women's Production Society Part 2 Cristen Carr Strubbe and Jeanette Volturno

September 20, 2022 by Julie Harris Oliver in Diversity, entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood, Independent Film, acting, DGA, Directors, gender equity, Producer, Studios, Stunts, women

This is part two in a series of interviews with  the leadership of the Women’s Production Society. The WPS is an organization of physical production executives across the industry. It started as a small cocktail party and has since grown to more than 100 members and is a powerful force of change within the industry with the purpose to fulfill their mission statement: To promote the hiring of women in leadership roles in Film, Television and New Media. 

In the last episode, I talked with the group’s founding members Dana Belcastro and Debra Bergman. And today I am talking with Jeanette Volturno, producer and entrepreneur,  and Cristen Carr Strubbe, producer turned physical production executive, who are the current leadership of the group. You can hear Jeanette’s origin story in episode 111 of this podcast  and Cristen is on episode 15.

In this episode we talk about where the WPS is now, how they weathered the covid of it all the last couple of years, and what the plan to do going forward.
