Women’s History Month is about being powerful collectively with Deborah Attoinese

Deborah Attoinese

Women’s History Month is a time to highlight and commemorate all that women have achieved - past, present, and future. Revry honors their contributions to our history and society, and to provide recognition and encouragement of a more inclusive future. 

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. Directors, actresses, writers, and more; we’ll be interviewing creative and inspirational women who make a difference with their art. 

Deborah Attoinese is an award-winning director, producer, writer, and self-taught fashion photographer. Her work has been shown on Netflix, CineMax, Showtime, and Revry, and includes Hollywood Pictures, Tri-Star Pictures, Curb Entertainment and Bill Kenwright Productions. The film ‘Girl Knight’, which Deborah wrote and directed, is available on Revry.

What does Women's History Month mean to you?

Women's History Month means a celebration, thirtyone full days of incredible work made by incredible women. And together our work reaches more of an audience and becomes that much more powerful collectively.

There are so many unacknowledged women who made history. Is there a woman creator that has impacted your work?

There are so many women who have worked and fought so hard to give all women

the incredible opportunities we all share today and yet we still have so much more work to do.

In the film world Agnes Varda was a tremendous inspiration to me. The first time I saw her film "Vagabond" my world forever changed. I was so taken by Agnes' film I literally went back to the theater the next night to watch it again.

History is inspirational to future generations. What advice would you give the next generation of women creators?

I actually think the next generation of women creators are so smart and so capable I have no doubt the future IS feminine and it's about time! 

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Revry has curated a powerful collection of stories told by female artists featuring films, TV series, music, and more.
