The Kit honours Women in Film with event at the Park Hyatt

The Kit’s third annual Women in Film event, held at the Park Hyatt Toronto and hosted by Etalk’s Sonia Mangat, brought together filmmakers, actors, writers, producers and more. It included a discussion moderated by The Kit’s editor-in-chief Laura deCarufel and a panel of Canadian women in film: Sook-Yin Lee, Jennifer Podemski, Ann Marie Fleming and Andria Wilson Mirza. The Kit also awarded the first annual The Kit Next Gen Women in Film Award to Sasha Leigh Henry, a writer, producer and director whose Crave show, “Bria Mack Gets a Life,” won best comedy series at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards. She’s currently at work on her first feature.
