This might sound weird, but yesterday, when I was brushing my teeth, I was trying to think of Asian female directors. I could not come up with one. That's sad.

And what is more frustrating is that world cinema is getting less and less of a chance because if a film does do well, it will inevitably get that remake you speak of.

The saddest thing to me is that with the emergence of cheaper digital technology where "anyone can make a movie" you'd expect the exact opposite of our current movie industry landscape. I'm really intrigued about whether or not it's "industry prejudices" or, for one reason or another, a lot of minorities don't pursue filmmakingThomas Kronernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-33353546099562077932012-09-16T13:48:50.527-07:002012-09-16T13:48:50.527-07:00You're blowing up my phone!
