Alyssa Julya Smith attends the "Power of Women" event at the Sundance Film Festival. Smith spoke with vice president of Autograph Collection Hotels, Amanda Altree, founder of The Black List, Franklin Leonard, and actress Aisha Tyler.
Leonard says the lack of female leadership in Hollywood is "unconscionable," with only 4% of studio films having been directed by women in the last 10 years. Altree says an event like "Power of Women" shines a light on people we really need to be hearing from.
Aisha Tyler says the goal of "Power of Women" is to distill a cultural movement like Time's Up and make it real.
