Half the Picture

HALF THE PICTURE consists of interviews with high profile women directors including Ava DuVernay, Jill Soloway, Lena Dunham, Catherine Hardwicke, Miranda July and many more, discussing how they made their first features, how they transitioned to studio films or television, how they balance a demanding directing career with family, and challenges and joys along the way.

We also interview experts about gender inequality in Hollywood including the ACLU’s Melissa Goodman, Vanity Fair’s Rebecca Keegan, and USC’s Dr. Stacy Smith who establish the magnitude of this issue as women are shut out, across the board, of an industry that systemically denies women’s expression and point of view.
