    Amongst people who talk about directors, I find that most of them 1) talk about startlingly few directors and 2) don’t seem to mention female directors at all.

    After seeing Barbie I wanted to see Lady Bird, but I didn’t see a lot of videos talking about Gerta Gerwig as a director the way I see the same done for Christopher Nolan. Ofc the longer your career is the easier it is to do that, even if you’re getting trashed over mediocre media.

    How many women have made 6 or more full length feature films in their lifetimes?
