Ava DuVernay
Although DuVernay has been working in the film industry for more than fourteen years as a marketer and publicist, she made her filmmaking debut in 2008 with the independent hip-hop documentary This is the Life. There’s no doubt that her experience heading her firm DVA Media + Marketing and overseeing strategy and execution for more than eighty film and television campaigns for projects directed by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg has helped her balance the creative with the business. Forthcoming films include I Will Follow, which she wrote, directed and produced, and BET’s first original music documentary My Mic Sounds Nice which she directed and served as executive producer.
