Is it feeding into the problem to try to define the difference between male and female directors?
I don’t know. Let me say that men run Hollywood and I think that they’re afraid that women are going to get emotional or get their periods or something. I don’t know how they think. I wonder if they think that women can’t do the blockbusters. I know that Kathryn Bigelow was doing some for a while, but K-19 didn’t do that well, I think, so they’re not willing to give her a second chance. Men get more chances then women, truthfully, that’s a big part of it, too. But hopefully it’s changing–I try to be hopeful about these things instead of just complain about them–but… Yeah, I’m hopeful. Was The Woodsman a project that, like Cavedweller, you saw as specific for a female director? No, and honestly I can’t compare and contrast. But speaking of Nicole [Kassell] as [the] director [of The Woodsman], I can say that she’s incredibly sensitive and maybe it’s that quality that…and it isn’t unique to women…but that women may generally be more open to being vulnerable.
