Music is an extremely important part of film and television content -- it helps create atmosphere, evoke emotion and heighten drama. So we are thrilled to bring you Leah Curney's interview with composer, lyricist and creator of our new podcast theme Elspeth Collard! In the Women Crush Wednesday Spotlight, Tammy Reese tells us why Antonia Badon is crushing it.

Hosts Leah and Janine McGoldrick discuss open submissions for the The Writers Lab, a new DGA report about the increase of women television directors and recommend Five Films, a collection of documentary short films from women directors which feature stories of the perseverance and passion of women entrepreneurs premiering March 6th on ShortsTV.
