We enjoyed our conversation with filmmaker Robin Hauser, who is just finishing up her 3rd documentary entitled Bias, after two critically acclaimed, award-winning projects (Running for Jim and Code: Debugging the Gender Gap).  We're seeing a theme here, Mind the Gap!

Bio:
Robin has spoken about the importance of increased diversity in computer programming and on behalf of women’s rights at Watermark, Conference for Women, Mobile World Congress, SXSW Interactive, AT&T Foundry FutureCast, Dell Women Entrepreneur Network and Women 2.0. As Director of CODE, Robin has been featured in national publications: USA Today, Wired, Forbes, Fortune, The New Yorker, just to name a few.  Robin is recipient of the 2016 National Political Women’s Caucus President’s Award.

Topics:

• What made you decide to move into filmmaking?  And at what point did you know you wanted to make social impact movies?
• Origins for Running for Jim?
• What were some of the key things you learned on your first project that you knew you would do differently on the next one?  
• At what point, and was it during the Running for Jim process, did you come up with the idea for Code?  And share the goals for the project and what it has meant for you and the community you were trying to impact.
• There seems to be similar themes in Code and Bias, was that intentional?

 “I hope to inspire change in how women and girls see themselves in the industry,” says Robin, “I hope to inspire change in startup culture so they become more welcoming and inviting to women. It can be and make amazing things, we have to bring everybody into this.”
