From Indie to Blockbuster: the Marysue on Lumberjanes director Emily Carmichael

[froodle]

We love us some female directors around here, and it struck us that while there is still a huge disparity between the numbers of men and women given the opportunity to direct mainstream Hollywood films, there are some female directors coming up from the independent film world that are (very, very slowly) being given the chance to direct major studio projects. And because we’re all about shouting-out talented women, we’ll be talking about them in a brand-new video series, From Indie to Blockbuster!

Our first From Indie to Blockbuster video will help you get to know Pacific Rim 2 co-writer and director of the upcoming Lumberjanes film, Emily Carmichael, a whole lot better. I walk you through her early career, as well as the amazing short films she’s created (and won awards for!) recently that will show you exactly why she’s the perfect choice to take on our favorite scouts.
