The Celluloid Ceiling: Thoughts From Five Women Who Broke Through

Excellent article from IndieWire about female directors. While I don't agree with all the points put forth by the panel (i.e. Finola Dwyer's comments about women and action films), they did confirm my point from my Women And Directing post about the female reaction to the burden of initial commercial success.

Buzzkill!

This was a short film my friend and Margaret and I submitted for the TriggerStreet/Stella Artois Film Competition. Triggerstreet.com is the interactive arm of Kevin Spacey's media company dedicated to discovering and showcasing emerging filmmaking and writing talent. I keep meaning to become more active in the TriggerStreet community, as I believe that it has the potential to be a really valuable tool to producers (like myself) looking for potential content and creators looking for feedback. I'll report back my thoughts once I've test driven their site a bit more. Anyway, here's "Buzzkill"! The credits aren't correct (my "Story By" credit is missing) but other than that, it's in pretty decent shape. We were able to pull it together for a little under $2K and in only a months time, which, considering most of the people involved work full time, was quite a feat. Enjoy!
