It's always great to see more women in the film industry. As a female and aspiring director, I truly face what has been known to be a primarily male profession. What worries me is the decline in percentage of directors between 2012 in 2013. While 9% of women were directors in 2012, 6% of women were directors in 2013. That 3% drop is still important. I don't know if I want my career to be in film. I'm very much condemned to the theatre, but I'd still like to dabble in it should the opportunity arise. I don't believe that anyone has the right to tell anyone what to do based on something as ridiculously irrelevant as gender, race, sexual orientation, or religion. As much as we don't hear about the discrimination against women in these professions, it definitely exists.
