We enjoyed our conversation with filmmaker Robin Hauser, who is just finishing up her 3rd documentary entitled Bias, after two critically acclaimed, award-winning projects (Running for Jim and Code: Debugging the Gender Gap). We're seeing a theme here, Mind the Gap!
Bio: Robin has spoken about the importance of increased diversity in computer programming and on behalf of women’s rights at Watermark, Conference for Women, Mobile World Congress, SXSW Interactive, AT&T Foundry FutureCast, Dell Women Entrepreneur Network and Women 2.0. As Director of CODE, Robin has been featured in national publications: USA Today, Wired, Forbes, Fortune, The New Yorker, just to name a few. Robin is recipient of the 2016 National Political Women’s Caucus President’s Award.
