I might be unpopular for saying this but there are plenty of female filmmakers but not many good ones. Just because they are woman doesn't mean they are good. I watch a lot of indie films for my film festival and while I'd love to screen more female made films, they rarely make the cut. And the ones that are good are always FEMALE Filmmakers. Not just filmmakers.
This fascinates me. I know women are creative, smart and great multi-tasker. So why is there such a lack in good films with women filmmakers? Is it because they are restricted by the "glass ceiling"? It is because they are told they can't do it? Is it because their minds just don't work that way? Or is it they are just in the process of starting to make their own waves? I think the latter.
So that is why I am so so so thrilled to meeting with so many TALENTED filmmakers that happen to be female. They are remarkable. They have amazing vision, and creativity and enthusiasm. And they are going to be working with us.
With our powers combined, we will continue the good sterotype of female filmmakers.
