#27 Dare to Dream Big: Q&A with Dream, Girl Director Erin Bagwell

Broadmic Startup Shortcuts

Erin Bagwell, first time director, and co-producer of Dream, Girl, didn’t start out in movies. Bagwell got the courage to quit her corporate job and pursue her dream of becoming a filmmaker from discovering a community of young women entrepreneurs who were pursuing their big dreams. Inspired by her peers, Bagwell “leveled up” and began to believe in herself. Bagwell’s film, Dream, Girl features a handful of diverse female founders, including women of color ranging in age from 25-83. During a live Q&A with our Season Three host, Erica Duignan Minnihan, Bagwell talks about her hope that people can see themselves in the women showcased in the film. Girl, be prepared to dream!
