Danielle Feinberg, director of photography at Pixar, will be the star of this documentary entitled, CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, a look at the lopsided nature of the tech industry and increasing need for computer science graduates, particularly women. “The combination of art and tech is my favorite thing in the world,” Feinberg says.
“This film is all about giving young girls a different perspective and showing them you can do so much more than just write an app, or [work on] banking software, which is what people typically associate with programming,” She added.
