Naomi McDougall Jones was a guest on this podcast before talking about her second feature film called Bite Me, which developed into the Joyful Vampire Tour of America, an innovative 51-screening, 40-city, three-month tour in an RV. Naomi has since teamed up with the former CFO of the City of Chicago to found The 51 Fund, an investment fund to finance films written, directed, and produced by women. Through it, Naomi became an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary feature film, Cusp, which premiered at Sundance in 2021. She was also a writer for season 1 of Amazon's original series, The New Yorker Presents.

Hollywood is a multi-billion dollar industry. That wealth, and the power that comes with it, is tied up in a largely stale, pale, and male decision-maker landscape. In this interview with actor, screenwriter, author, activist and 51Fund co-founder Naomi McDougall Jones, we discuss the relationship between off- and on-screen representation, and why now, more than ever, is the time to build a system that makes sure all stories get told -- to equal monetary benefit. ---Twitter: @NaomiMcDougallJWebsite: www.naomimcdougalljones.comBio:Naomi McDougall Jones is a storyteller and changemaker. She has written, acted in, and produced two award-winning feature films. The first, Imagine I’m Beautiful (2014), collected 12 awards on the film festival circuit before receiving a theatrical and digital distribution deal and is now available on AmazonPrime. Her second feature, Bite Me (2019), was released via a paradigm-shifting 3 month, 51 screening, 40 city Joyful Vampire Tour of America that took the country by storm, and is now available on iTunes, GooglePlay, and Amazon. She is currently at work on her third feature film, Hammond Castle, for which she received the honor of being the first artist in residence at the final home of Ernest Hemingway in Sun Valley, Idaho. Naomi is an advocate and thought leader for bringing gender parity to cinema. Her writing on this has appeared in The Atlantic, Ms. Magazine, and Salon.com and she gave a virally sensational TEDTalk, What it’s Like to Be a Woman in Hollywood, which has now been viewed over 1 million times and can be seen on TED.com. Naomi’s first book, The Wrong Kind of Women: Inside Our Revolution to Dismantle the Gods of Hollywood, published by Beacon Press, has received an electric response with Booklist and Kirkus Reviews naming it "bold," "convincing," "well-written," "urgent," and "necessary," and The Christian Science Monitor calling it, “...an outpouring of passion that will change the ways in which movies are seen.” It is now available in hardcover, e-book, and audiobook wherever books are sold.

Naomi's first film didn't give her the validation and acceptance that she sought. Naomi felt crushed. So for her second film, she set out to be accepted by the "System" and chose to play by their rules. Naomi encountered very powerful 'gatekeepers' that feel they define the success and happiness of film makers, such as herself. Once she realized that she had been empowered all along, she took a refreshingly different approach. Naomi recentered with her own value system and courageously decided to distribute her film herself. She rented an RV and embarked on her "Joyful Vampire Tour of America", which provides screenings, Q&A with the film makers and ends with a fun ball. Naomi looks forward to connect with her end consumers and independent cinema owners. She shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom: - your acceptance, validation and happiness is measured by your values, not those of others - do not chase external recognitions that are, in reality, meaningless - get centered with your values, what is truly important to you and go after it - sometimes you just need to challenge the norm - learn by doing - listen to your gut Naomi McDougall Jones is an award-winning actress, writer, producer, and women in film activist.
