Closing Hollywood’s gender gap: Women directors crowdfund film

user
Catherine Hardwicke, Julie Taymor and Julie-Anne Robinson are all celebrated directors with the same complaint: They had no role models when they started out. “I certainly didn’t know any female directors when I came to L.A.,” Hardwicke, director of “Thirteen” and “Twlight,” told TheWrap. Taymor, too, lamented “the worship of the enfant terrible — the brilliant young male.” “If woman is a maverick or an auteur, she often i...

The young scenarist Rodrigo Sorogoyen will present in word premiere his movie STOCKHOLM.
