“Most observers agree that the lack of movies directed by women isn’t necessarily due to a shortage of female directors. A vicious cycle of financing is the primary reason — studios and producers are hesitant to hand big budgets to female directors without proven track records. But if they can’t get funding, they can’t get a track record to begin with. There’s no doubt that good old-fashioned sexism also plays a large role here.” — Washington Post
