15/52 - Wonder Woman | Dir. by Patty Jenkins

I'm taking the Women in Film pledge to watch 52 Films By Women this year. I had the opportunity to see. I saw Wonder Woman on opening night with Women in Film Portland as part of the #WonderWknd. I absolutely loved the movie. I'm so proud of Patty Jenkins. The "No Man's Land" sequence is really stunning. (And she had to fight the studio to keep it in!?!) The themes it touches on - the true nature of a hero, who "deserves" to be saved and the cost of war - are all explored really well. 

Wonder Woman, OPB & WIF-PDX

Last week I got the chance to do an interview on OPB's State on Wonder about Wonder Woman. We talked about the promotional efforts behind the film and about the WIF-PDX effort that I spearheaded to get people out to see the movie on opening weekend. The idea was to get people to see the first female superhero movie in decade and the first big budget superhero movie to be directed by a woman - Patty Jenkins>

2017 Portland Indie Film Awards

The Portland Indie Film Awards were earlier this month. My film, From Salem to the Salon, was nominated for Best Short Film. It didn't end up winning the big award, but it did make an appearance in the ceremony's opening montage. It's great to see the recognition this film has received!
