I don't think that a film should be known as 'male-centric' or 'female-centric,' but it should be known for the story. That would be really nice, and viable, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If there were genders to genres, fiction would be unquestionably feminine.
I'd like to think at some point instead of it being a woman's film or a man's film, it is just a great story, and both sexes can go and get the same enjoyment out of it.
I've been playing with this idea in my mind that the hero's journey that we're all taught as screenwriters may resonate more specifically for male protagonists and maybe even male viewers.
I wish that there were more female driven films, female-centric films being made.
I wanted to write a sci-fi story that would appeal to young women. Loads of girls like sci-fi, but it's more culturally associated with guys.
I don't feel like my films are about gender; they are about identity - but a different slant on identity.
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.
I would love to write a script where the main character is a woman. I know I can direct a film where the main character is a woman. I cannot write that film.
I'd like to do a really masculine film.
