– Relevant magazine (via Diana : megburns : haygirlhay : luciwithani) I love this. Also, I feel compelled to add words that were given to me by a girl I loved, a long time ago: And you will be you where ever you go. Two people in a race, blind-folded and running  in hot pursuit of the peace of...

– - A bit of writing advice from Neil Gaiman. (via faramirs) I said it on the Nerdist Podcast, and I believe it. It’s as true for any area of the arts, not just writing. Perhaps it’s true for life. (via neil-gaiman) Listen to the full podcast here. Also: “Nobody cares about your first...

Write Like A Motherfucker →
How many women wrote beautiful novels and stories and poems and essays and plays and scripts and songs in spite of all the crap they endured. How many of them didn’t collapse in a heap of “I could have been better than this” and instead went right ahead and became better than anyone would have predicted or allowed them to be. The unifying theme is resilience and faith. The unifying theme is...

Q: What advice could you offer other female directors?
Francesca: To pull the trigger and make your work. Find a story that inspires you, write a story that inspires you and shoot it. Especially now that there are so many cheap digital cameras, there’s no excuse for not making work. Not to mention that I think it’s critical that more women make films, because it is such a powerful medium. So, if we are not actively telling our story with our voices as seen through our eyes, then we will just have words put in our mouth and be seen singly through the eyes of men, which is not an accurate portrayal of who we are. So, beyond our own personal need for expression or personal ambition, I think being a female filmmaker is of service in terms of leaving behind a more accurate portrayal of who we are.
