"Women are more open to being taught than men. There are no girl-wonders, especially in this business. But men all think they’re the next boy-wonder, and the industry treats them as if they are. It’s embarrassing. I’ve watched editors who have been editing films for thirty years kiss some young upstart’s ass, and I think, “Why are you kissing his ass? He should be kissing your ass. You’re the one with the experience, he’s brand new. Let’s see him sustain the career you’ve sustained.” They all coddle these boys, and it’s to the detriment of the work."

Allison Anders, BOMB Magazine

This is really, really important and I don’t think we talk about it enough. The entire interview is fascinating.

Reblogging because this interview is soooo interesting. I need to watch all of her movies, like, yesterday.

Allison is awesome and also the best. So supportive of other filmmakers, especially non-typical voices, and she does amazing programming around the LA area and teaches. I have to stop myself from asking her for help on every film-related project I do because she will always say yes. All of this by way of saying yes read the interview and also see Border Radio for further discussion.
