Female Filmmaker Friday: 2014 Wrap Up
As I announced last week, next year I will be only watching films directed (or written) by women. This means films in theaters, as well as those I watch at home (new-to-me and re-watches). You can see the entire year of Female Filmmaker Friday pieces here. This feature will not be continuing, as my entire year will be spotlighting films by women. I thought for my final Female Filmmaker Friday for the year, I would list out all the films by women I watched in 2014, which comes to 46 out of a total 361 so far this year:
