For the first time ever, over half the films presented at #afifest were directed by women. It was an incredible year, and since I was volunteering I only got to watch a handful of films, but I saw multiple masterpieces in a short span of time. It was a pleasure witnessing several female auteurs begin to emerge. Keep an eye out for these incredible films/filmmakers. #thebodyrememberswhentheworldbrokeopen #babyteeth #hala #kathleenhepburn #ellemáijátailfeathers #shannonmurphy #minhalbaig #changingthechairs ...
Night 6 and AFI Fest 2019...Done! Tonight's Gala was Netflix's Marriage Story, a film that I really enjoyed, thanks to its amazing leads and their on screen chemistry. I always enjoy volunteering for this awesome film festival, so it's bittersweet to see it come to an end. Till next year! #AFIFest #ChangingTheChairs ...
Work is a reflection on who we are, by sitting in the director's chair women are able to create from their point of view. Furthermore, it sets an example for other women to do the same thing. Filmmaking is still male dominated, to have a woman director also creates a ripple effect of employment of more women behind-the-scenes.
Here PART 2 of some film set pictures of SOME of the wonderful female professionals that helped me create Love Me tender.
#ChangingTheChairs#AFIFEST #DriveProgress
In 2018, for every 22 major films directed by a man, only one was directed by a woman. But this year, 14 of the top 100 blockbuster films could be directed by women – a significant move toward more inclusion behind the camera.
