Maria Giese

An advocate for gender equality in Hollywood, Maria Giese was born in 1965 in Carmel, California, USA. She has been active in the film industry since the late 1980s, primarily focusing on dramas such as her well-known film "When Saturday Comes", and has been actively campaigning for gender parity in Hollywood, leading her to instigate the ACLU investigation into discrimination against female directors in 2015. Unfortunately, she has not yet been recognized with awards at major film festivals, but her work in promoting equality in the industry is undeniably praiseworthy.

Maria Giese is more than a filmmaker; she is a relentless warrior fighting for equality in an industry that often forgets its responsibility.
