Most particularly I mean women making film.
producing, directing, writing.
uh.
and also award seasons. … why?
WHY.
With a BIG OLE fat stinking CAPS LOCK W. why?
and where?
It has occurred to me, that yesssss the practicalities of this business I’ve embarked myself in provides deep canyons and hurdles along with massive onslaughts of gender stereotypes. And why is that? Well, its just, well you know that, you know, nobody had many women around “back in those days” of traditional indoctrinated values.
But, its not back in those days anymore.
So what’s up?
brotha.
So what’s up?
I hope to think its really only award seasons. I know there are eons of talented women out there making real good stuff and getting real good stuff from it. That’s what’s important. What’s wild to me is that our mainstreamed media (which is all most of the sorry population ever sees) is shut off to a lot of these avenues of film and prefer to sit cozy in the boys’ club. Ok. That’s fine. Make your money makers. But for Pete’s Sakes, move over sometimes.
for the peoples’ sake I mean.
I’m getting pretty good at HTML so, government come find me! LOL. I will make too many political memes and Biden will call me a terrorist.
Really? swaying peoples’ opinion is now a terror threat?
holy fuck. forget women in film.
forget award seasons.
that’s a real talk to have right there. shit.
ANYWAYS. I’ll conclude with this. On my research to drop some dope knowledge about this subject I google search (god help us) “oscar winners directing” then as I’m typing “Women” FASHION started pouring and pouring into the stream. I couldn’t believe it. But it happened twice.
So ladies, here’s a thought. What do we want? Because if we keep feeding money attention and google searches into what women are wearing instead of what women are saying and making in film. What kind of role does that leave us in the conversation?
And, do we like that role?
Thanks for listening. This was a doozy.
Keep yours eyes on Biden.
Don’t let him touch you.
