The indie film world is demonstrably more friendly to female directors than Hollywood is; of the 10 top-grossing films directed by females in 2013, all but Frozen and Carrie are indies. Tons of male directors get handed the reigns to big-budget films after having success with a low-budget indie, or even a particularly good commercial! There’s Godzilla (Gareth Edwards), Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow), Tron: Legacy (Joseph Kosinski). Where’s the female director being plucked from relative obscurity to direct some Hollywood reboot or sequel after scoring big with a festival hit?
Only 2 of the 100 Top-Grossing Movies of the Year Were Directed by Women (via themarysue)
