Film makers : 15 groundbreaking women directors

Miller-Lachmann, Lyn, 1956- author.

Book 2024

"Each of the 15 women profiled in Film Makers shares a common trait: she is, as Shonda Rhimes says, "First. Only. Different." These phenomenal women have redefined the film and television industry, winning awards historically given to a male counterpart, being the only woman in a writers' room, or portraying stories no one else could tell"--P. [4] of cover.
