Someone asked me about my favorite film directors, and I've realized the list is way too white, hetero, and male!
So, if you have a suggestion about movies directed by, women, people of color, lgbtq+, please let me know. Suggestions of a good movie or two that represents their work well, would also be appreciated, thanks!
#PedroAlmodóvar is a favorite director who is gay. All of his movies have a queer attraction element or storyline, and his women are invariably strong!
He was approached to direct "Brokeback Mountain" but passed because he thought (probably correctly) that "Hollywood" wouldn't allow him to make the movie he'd want to.
He debuted "Strange Way of Life" a queer cowboy short—#EthanHawke and #PedroPascal at #Cannes in May; it opens worldwide in October.
