#26 | Spreading Awareness Through Film with Ipek Ensari & Camille Hollett-French – Making It: Women in Film

Scientific researcher Ipek Ensari and filmmaker Camille Hollett-French are the co-directors of ENDOMIC – a Slamdance accepted film about endometriosis. Shania sat down to talk to them about how they found each other and developed this idea, what it was like to shoot during COVID, working together but never meeting each other, and how we can use film as a way of spreading awareness and make science accessible to the wider population.
