Why Men Have Trouble Writing Women - Jay Fingers

Screenwriter, Author, and YouTuber Jay Fingers explains that his love for writing female protagonists stems from his upbringing surrounded by strong women. He believes that their untold stories inspired him to uplift female characters and empower women through his writing. Despite initial concerns about being a man telling these stories, he realized his genuine care for women and their experiences. Jay emphasizes the importance of paying attention to women's lives and capturing their depth and humanity in his characters. He dislikes seeing one-dimensional female characters or damsels in distress and strives to create multifaceted and empowered women who break stereotypes. Ultimately, he aims to give voice to women and provide representation that resonates with readers.

Jay Fingers is a novelist, journalist, editor, and emerging screenwriter. He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, before attending film school at the University of Miami. After college and working in Miami Beach’s nightlife scene for several years, Jay moved to New York City — Brooklyn, specifically — where he wrote four books: Guestlist, Kisses for Tati, Orange Mound and Manhattan Sweetheart. Deciding to fully pursue his lifelong screenwriting ambitions, Jay relocated to Los Angeles, where he currently lives and has been tirelessly working on spec scripts.

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO

Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post https://amzn.to/425k5rG

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - https://amzn.to/3WEuz0k

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv
