The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.

There are a lot of women screenwriters, but they are obviously outnumbered by men. And it still is a very much male-dominated industry.

I don't understand why there aren't more powerful female directors. I don't have the answers, but I hope that things may start to shift and that studios will employ more women to handle strong and interesting material.

Hmm, can I be obvious and say there is probably a double standard for male vs. female directors? Sadly, I think that's actually the case. And it probably stems from the fact that there are proportionately so many fewer women directors than men ones that each project is perhaps more closely scrutinized for its content.

There are still so few female directors. There are far fewer writers than we'd like to see.

I've always been slightly hesitant about generalizing movies made by men and women being different in their nature; I think movies by each director are different. Having said that, I think that it's kind of disgraceful that there aren't more female directors.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

I've just seen that there is a really amazing perspective that we're missing by not having more women directing.

I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
