And you only have to pay her 77% of what you'd pay a male director.

From the article:

TriBros also announced plans to put an end to gender inequality in North American film and television production by launching an incentive program to encourage the hiring of women in leading creative positions. Mr. Apostolopoulos announced TriBro will cut studio fees in half for any female-helmed productions at its existing studio in Toronto, and at its future studio in Pickering.

He noted only seven per cent of the largest 250 feature films of 2014 were directed by women.

Pickering-Scarborough East and Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, Tracy MacCharles, said despite women making up more than half of the population, inequality still exists, and this program will encourage female directors and showrunners.

“I think this is just incredible leadership,” said Ms. MacCharles.

Essentially, what this means is that productions with male directors will penalized by the studio by being forced to pay all fees, while productions that hire female directors will be rewarded by having their fees cut in half.
