What People (Still) Believe32
Minority-focused stories can’t be internationally viable (they are)
Women/People of Color/Differently Abled lack ambition (uh-uh) Minority producers can’t handle large budgets or crews (they
can) Female directors don’t reach lucrative markets (they do) Women can’t direct men (they sure can) There aren’t enough women directors (there are – 45 different
women helmed one of the 100 top grossing movies of the last 13 years)
