@annasimonescott8: What advice do you have for other women in the industry? My advice would be not to wait for opportunities as they may not knock! If they do, great- grab them- but if not, make your own way. As a member of Alliance of Women Directors I see more and more women getting our there and making it happen, however difficult it may be. It’s so inspiring. Seek out great stories however you can, whether you direct or produce someone else’s script or write your own. If you’ve just started to write, be prepared to rewrite…. a lot. Really hone the script and go over it assiduously. Have readings! Gather actors to hear it out loud until it’s ready. Find supportive groups to help achieve your goals.
