JAMES PARRIS

When a short story about two women and a misogynistic genie came across James’ desk, he made it a personal mission to bring this battle of wills to life on screen. Besides being raised on fantasy, sci-fi, and comics, James has always been drawn to human empowerment stories. In Everygirl’s Guide, he instantly saw the potential for an incredibly entertaining ride as well as a catalyst for social change. All successful film projects require a resonant theme. In this case, power-in-unity is the backbone of The Everygirl’s Guide, and James is committed to bring that message to the world.

KAREN SICKLES

The genuine friendship between Amelia and Grace is the powerful dynamic that drew Karen to Everygirl’s Guide – particularly, the idea that even the closest BFF’s can fall prey to toxic influences. Karen sees a unique opportunity to go beyond the standard buddy picture trope to spotlight the challenges faced by ‘sisterhoods’ everywhere. As the business arm of the Paper Tiger Films tribe, Karen’s goal is to facilitate and nurture all aspects of the director’s vision – including keeping the project on-schedule and on-budget.
