Social Impact Heroes: How filmmaker Chiara Tilesi is helping to create gender parity in entertainment and media

When you find people that believe in you, believe in them too. There’s nothing better than building a community of individuals that support and lift up one another.

As part of my series about “individuals and organizations making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Chiara Tilesi. She is an Italian Social Impact Producer and Founder of We Do It Together (WDIT), a nonprofit film production company based in Los Angeles, whose purpose is to produce media dedicated to the empowerment of women and minorities.

With the purpose of creating gender parity in entertainment and media, she was elected as a Cultural Leader and official speaker at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. Chiara has also spoken at TED X WOMEN, and at the UN and Cannes, to spread the message of gender equality.

Chiara’s first feature film, All the Invisible Children, was produced for UNICEF and the World Food Program, with a release in 120 countries and the co-direction of eight internationally acclaimed directors, including Ridley Scott, John Woo, and Spike Lee among others.
