“Creating a portrait of a female point of view in an environment that we've pretty much exclusively understood through a male perspective - "Wall Street," "Wolf of Wall Street," "Arbitrage" - etc. was beyond exciting for me. It felt downright necessary. And I felt really inspired by Alysia Reiner and Sarah Megan Thomas' agenda in telling these types of unique, feminist stories.

“When I was in film school at USC, I wrote my thesis script about a woman on Wall Street - specifically a woman who used to work at Morgan Stanley, sort of based on her life. Through that process, I did some research.” SchoolFilmUsedProcessStreetsWallResearchScriptsThesisStanleyFilm SchoolUsc Author:Meera Menon
“I think it was the same thing that really makes the premise of this film [Women of Wall Street] compelling: the idea of a woman negotiating issues around power and money, which are two things that have historically been denied to women. To see a woman operate successfully, but still find those barriers a result of that historical and systemic bias in her pursuit to the top, is a really interesting struggle.” ThinkingStillsTwoIdeasFilmInterestingResultsStruggleIssuesStreetsWallHistoricalPursuitTwo ThingsBarriersDeniedCompellingBiasPremisesReally InterestingNegotiating Author:Meera Menon
