In 1916 Lois Weber was the highest paid director in Hollywood.
Thanks for writing it! I had seen both films, but hadn’t connected them.

I’ve wanted to contrast STORY OF A THREE-DAY PASS, with other brief encounter romances like BEFORE SUNRISE, and MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY.

I realize this was a couple months ago, but you said “early”

Queens of Animation is a fantastic history of the women of Disney.

Nobody’s Girl Friday is a great resource for info on below the line Hollywood women.

Naps are the best!

Sending love & energy & strategic moments for naps! Remember working tired is less efficient than just taking the nap, then working. I have faith in you & am in awe of you (I’m doing far less), & if you only manage to do half of those things you’re still a rock star! 🧡 Take care of yourself!

Bodil Ipsen’s DERAILED is fascinating! Really would love to see MELODY OF MURDER someday. Ipsen also was the first woman to win the Palme D’Or with a film she codirected with Lau Lauritzen, THE RED MEADOWS, in 1946.

Fantastic looking series!

Funny that they point out that Edith Carlmar was a woman, but not that Bodil Ipsen, director of the other movie mentioned, was also a woman. So many Scandinavian women directors in the mid century, but really hard to see their films.

Thank you for the heads up!

Took me a few days to get a chance to read it, but I really enjoyed it!

I too very much enjoyed the audiobook version (I have a funny thing where I read fiction, but listen to non-fiction). I loved the context you provided, and also the reframing of Buster's later career in France. Such a well researched, and well written book. Thank you for all the work you put in!

Lotte Reiniger is one of my favorites. I did a lecture on the whole arc of her career a few years ago. She was fascinating. youtu.be/ASKn9PFfw28?...

The other collection that Criterion Channel added this month by a female filmmaker I still need to explore, 3 documentaries by Michele Stephenson (2 in collaboration with her husband Joe Brewster). I'm looking forward to it.
