Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria wears many hats—actor, producer, director, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mother…when does she sleep?
She’s constantly honing her craft, seeking new projects, and opening doors for women in the industry. She's passionate about paving the way for future female and minority producers, directors and industry leaders in Hollywood and beyond.
You may be surprised to know that she’s been producing and directing for the past decade.
She is the executive producer of ABC’s newest and hottest show, Grand Hotel, starring Academy Award-nominated Demián Bichir and Roselyn Sanchez.
Eva has leaned into her role as a producer to make a groundbreaking shift in the episodic world by hiring women to direct a majority of the series’ episodes. Because, yes…women still barely make up 7% of all working directors today.
She also hired all women for the director of photography and assistant director positions – departments which are notoriously male dominated.
Eva is talking the talk and walking the walk..usually in heels. She is a delight and a bottomless well of inspiration.
