Women in Film (in General): Outlook Pretty Bad, Honestly


Ok, ok, you don't have to paw after me all at once but you would not believe it... I've got time to write for TV and film! Can you believe it? I'm practically Wonder Woman, but not that one (but at least they're trying to have a female lead here? Or three? Who knows...)

I think a lot of people might be confused by how there are more female producers than writers or directors, but I've found that the entertainment industry is very receptive to having women in important roles - so long as they aren't important creative roles. Also producer is such a loose term that it's natural for there to be more women in those jobs than the actually-definable writer/director jobs.
