Rebel Park Productions, a new company led by British actress Gemma Arterton, has released an eight-minute comedic short film titled “Leading Lady Parts,” in which several well-known actresses help address issues of gender inequality.
She adds, “It’s one of the best things to come out of the Time’s Up meetings for me personally: Meeting people I would never usually meet. For example, Felicity Jones. I had this meeting in my house and Felicity came and she was the one [who] suggested ‘Why don’t we do something together?’ That was a very heartening thing.”After Swale sent Arterton her script, it took only three weeks to enlist the cast and secure funding for the project.
“And it’s not just women, by the way. Men get it worse to some extent. I remember Tom saying he’s been told to just take off his shirt. It’s so ridiculous in a job interview to be told ‘Can you take your clothes off?’ That’s why it’s such a great comic subject, because it’s so ridiculous.”Gemma Arterton, actress and producer
“We wanted the conversation to continue and we wanted to try and address the whole thing in a positive way,” Malik adds. “We wanted to use the skills we had to address the subjects people had been bringing up and to do so with humor and wit.” “Leading Lady Parts” is the first official project from Rebel Park Productions and represents a soft launch for the company, with plans to announce a larger slate in the coming months.
