In this profile series, Revry is highlighting authentic contributors to the LGBTQ media and entertainment community. Women have been left out from our history and overlooked far too often. Women’s History Month is a time to showcase the talent and creativity that lives within our female-identifying community. Revry honors their contributions to our history and society, and to provide recognition and encouragement of a more inclusive future.

What does Women's History Month mean to you?

That there's still a lot of work to be done. I work in multiple creative industries and it's unsettling how rare it is to see women at the top.

Who is someone you look to for inspiration?

I love the DIY spirit of filmmakers like Mark Duplass. It's better to make something on a low budget than to never make something. Also, anyone who stays true to their style. No reason to try to be everything to everybody.
