Half men and half women directors, that is! Eight of next year's sixteen dramas were directed by women, a new record and a huge jump from this year's three. Woo hoo! Ladies making it on their own - literally!
While Sundance wasn't specifically looking to have an equal representation of male and female directors, this is a fantastic step forward. Of course, now we have to hope for two more things:
1) These women find distributors for their films while in Utah (and, of course, that they perform well in theaters)
2) Sundance continues to pick a similar degree of female directors from now on.
We can dream!
