LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2023 /Standard Newswire/ -- Serving female leaders in the film and television industry as well as arts and music professionals, Influence Women has exploded with growth over the past year. Expanding from its base in Hollywood to serve Christian women in film production hubs across the nation, new chapters in Orange County, Nashville and Atlanta offer networking, education and mentoring opportunities with in-person gatherings and online events.

Influence Women is led by Kathleen Cooke, recipient of the "She Leads America" award for her distinguished work in media and entertainment. "We are all women of influence," shares Kathleen Cooke, "and I am honored to lead women working in media, entertainment, arts and leadership who intertwine their faith in their lives and careers."

A branch of the nonprofit The Influence Lab founded by Phil and Kathleen Cooke, Influence Women events help women grow in their craft and their faith by introducing them to influential industry voices. Featured guests have included writer-producer Alexandra Boylan ("Switched," "Catching Faith"); casting director Lisa London (London-Stroud Casting), Hollywood producer Victoria Slater, TV personality Cynthia Garrett, Hollywood actress Renee Lawless (Tyler Perry's "The Haves and the Have Nots"), script consultant/Cooke Media Group development executive Laura Woodworth, Netflix director of digital production Christina Lee Storm, and Hollywood film and TV star Edwina-Findley-Dickerson ("If Loving You is Wrong"). Upcoming events are planned with Empower Women Media founder and author Shirin Taber ("Muslims Next Door") and actress-writer-producer Sam Sorbo ("Let There Be Light").

Influence Women will also have a presence at NRB 2023 in Orlando. "Hollywood Decentralized: Why You Don't Have to Live in LA to be a Female Filmmaker" will feature Kathleen Cooke and top Christian women filmmakers in a panel talk. Offering "boots on the ground" insight, attendees will gain valuable information to navigate their careers successfully in a new decentralized film industry.
