It was in 2016 that Har'el launched the nonprofit Free the Bid, which asks ad agencies and brands to pledge that at least one female director must be among those considered during for every major ad campaign.
In her new series, "Breaking Glass," created for Artsy x UBS, the director shines a spotlight on the women who are making change within their creative fields.
In addition to online panels and Q&As produced by SXSW, the streamer has also pledged to highlight Free the Work, a nonprofit run by “Honey Boy” director Alma Har’el.
In October, Har’el launched Free the Work, a talent discovery database that makes it easy for studios, production companies, and the like to find underrepresented creators including filmmakers, colorists, editors, writers, and more.
