One Woman's Journey from Financial Planner to Film Producer

Speaker:
Candy Straight
Private Investor and Independent Director


 
Join us for an interview with Candy Straight as she shares how her experience on Wall Street influenced her decision to produce the critically acclaimed movie “EQUITY.”  EQUITY can be viewed on You Tube or DVD.

Is there something you would like to know about Candy Straight?  Submit your questions in advance and we will try to include them in the interview.


Candace Straight, a retired investment banker, is a private investor and independent director, and is a director of Neuberger Berman’s mutual funds which have assets of approximately 40 billion. She is also the Executive Producer of EQUITY, an independent film starring two time Emmy winner (Breaking Bad) Anna Gunn. EQUITY is the first female-driven Wall Street film with Gunn playing a senior investment banker threatened by financial scandal.
EQUITY received 4 nominations (best director, best lead actress, best film and best screenwriter) from the Women's Image Awards (2/17/2017) which celebrate female and male artists whose work advances the value of women and girls (http://www.thewinawards.com/18_WINAwards.html).
