You look at women like Lena Dunham, you look at how women are kind of crafting their own space on the screen. I want to add to that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do find that when I see women who flesh out the television or film world and make it look more like the world I actually live in, I gravitate towards those characters.
Women in Film and Television is such an important body.
I think that women are underrepresented behind the camera as directors.
What's so dumb is that women are 50 per cent of the population, and they want to spend money to see movies where they're portrayed as three-dimensional characters.
Women have their own strengths, like fashion. In technology, we can contribute in a big way in terms of the design of the user interface.
I've watched women being hideously unattractive, personality-wise and physically, all the time. But these women never end up on screen.
It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.
I think Lena Dunham is a very bright and very interesting writer, and what she's accomplished at such a young age absolutely impresses me.
I'm glad that cinema is catching up to what television has known for a while: That three-dimensional, complex women get an audience engaged as much as the men.
You're allowed to make things for women on television, and there's not like... you don't have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it's just accepted, whereas if it's a feature, it's like 'So, talk to me about chick flicks.' It's like... I don't think you want to hear my opinion about this.
