A diverse group of women filmmakers speak for themselves about their careers and their work In the twenty-first century alone, women filmmakers have succeeded at directing every size, genre, and style of motion picture. Their movies have won Oscars ( Free Solo ), made actors into household names (Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone ), received induction into the Library of Congress's National Film Registry ( Real Women Have Curves ), and become worldwide box office phenomena ( Captain Marvel, Deep Impact ). Nevertheless in 2023, the year of Barbie , women directed only 12% of the top 250 movies in America. demonstrating how far moviemaking remains from gender parity. When women filmmakers succeed, they do so against these odds. Break the Frame is a collection of 24 career-spanning interviews with America's celebrated, reigning, and rising women filmmakers. Each conversation considers the director's complete filmography as a map of their evolving artistry and evidence of their unassailable contributions to a historically misogynist industry. Author Kevin Smokler listens as women filmmakers speak to the struggle and triumphs of developing and directing movies that are shaping how the film business sees women in the director's chair, and how their audiences see themselves and each other. This book is both an opportunity and invitation to devote one's time, admiration and enthusiasm to movies directed by women.
