This series has a great deal of information you'll not find anywhere else. I appreciate the spotlight being directed toward female creators. The number of women able to get stories on screen is still dismal. I hope it goes into the actual legislation created by men like the Heys code, which was deliberately created to silence women filmmakers.
These men found their exploration into their own sexuality threatening. So they constructed laws to prohibit these expressions.
I will get a lot from this series that also includes examining the craft elements of film. The only grievance is the film is directed by a man! Why isn't there at least a women involved as well? It feels a bit hypocritical. I am always happy when there are allies who want to assist in telling women's stories, but what I really want are women telling their own stories. Or at least participating in the telling. I know documentaries are typically not working with a large budget, but it would have been nice for them to hire a women AD or co-director. Every credit one is able to add to your CV makes it much more likely you'll get more.
