“No one asks you to direct; you need to just stand

up and declare: ‘I'm a director.’ Start doing it. Write

a script, pick up a camera, figure it out. Directing is

a multidisciplinary art form. So take writing classes,

take acting classes, learn cinematography, organize

a group of people, even if it's just on a trip to In-N-

Out. You need to be comfortable taking charge and

trusting your instincts. Put yourself in situations

where you're forced to do that. And just keep

shooting movies. Even short, no-budget ones. It's the

only way to learn. And learning is the only way to

build a career.” - Lauren Ludwig

Rejection Many women are turned down

for the chance to direct a feature film just because they

are woman.

Credentials? What are those?

often turned down

experience with

filming.

“There was the story of the female president

of a major studio who said ‘No woman over

40 could possibly have the stamina to direct

a feature film.’ I've heard people say that the

kinds of films they want to make are too

big, too tough for a female director.” –

Martha Coolidge, director of Rambling Rose

and Real Genius.

The numbers of female directors in the film

industry is small, just 9% of directors are

women. The two of the main reasons the

number is so small is of discouragement

and rejection.

Page 19: Women Directors Where Are You?

Women shouldn’t have to take the put-downs

and the sexual remarks. Women do have

the stamina and strength to direct and film

a hit movie. Woman directors need to take a

stand and fight for their right as an

individual in America.
