Women Where Art Thou Analysis
Women where art thou?
Is Hollywood sexist or is it that there are not enough women passionate about filmmaking? There has always been a lack of female movie producers. Maybe some women feel they do not have a chance because it is a male dominated world so they give up on their dream of producing films. Due to the small number of female filmmakers it is now difficult for studios to imagine women in charge. Hollywood feels that film is a major business filled with financial risk and the whole industry is based on demonstrable success. It is very rare that people will take a risk on female producers. The perception is that traditionally it 's a man 's role. I feel money gives men power. It is true that men have directed the great majority of
high-grossing films over the last decade, but it does not mean a woman cannot do the same.
Film directing is more than a full-time job. When you are making a film, it takes up every day and moment of your life, 16 to 18 hours a day, for a year or even longer. So women who want to have children and be a film director have to make major choices because most of the time a first time mother does not want to leave their newborn with just anyone or some babysitter. Most women prefer to spend all their moments raising their child. However, I am here to be a trend- setter and reach my goals. I will change the perception the world has towards women in charge and change the future for filmmaking. With my determination I will become an independent filmmaker that will not only represent women but minorities as well.
