Colourist Yoomin Lee grades “A Girl Who Reads… Can Dream.” This imaginative, dreamy short film packs a powerful message, highlighting the inequality of literacy amongst girls and the statistic that 493 million women worldwide still can’t read. “A Girl Who Reads…” was released by Lief on World Book Day and supported by the National Literacy Trust.

Made for girls, by girls, the film was created with an all-female crew, from storyboards to the final sound mix. “A Girl Who Reads…” was directed by Leonora Lonsdale and edited by Cut+Run London’s Sally Cooper – two of the many female directors and editors featured on freethebid.com – empowering female talent in the industry.
