Kathryn Bigelow on sexism in Hollywood: "Gender discrimination stigmatizes our entire industry." http://t.co/kxHh6IepKs
— TIME Culture (@TIMECulture) May 12, 2015For those who haven't been keeping up:
- This morning ACLU released a 15 page statement calling for an investigation into Hollywood sexism when it comes to hiring directors (original post here)
- They are considering launching a lawsuit
- Of the top-grossing 100 films from 2013 and 2014, just 1.9 percent were directed by women
Bigelow's statement:
I have always firmly believed that every director should be judged solely by their work, and not by their work based on their gender. Hollywood is supposedly a community of forward thinking and progressive people yet this horrific situation for women directors persists. Gender discrimination stigmatizes our entire industry. Change is essential. Gender neutral hiring is essential.
