“Personally, I can't stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there's 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don't know why those directors aren't asked why they're such specialists for violence.” KnowsI CanFilmViolenceDirectorsStandardsMainstreamSpecialists Author:Michael Haneke
“Hmm, can I be obvious and say there is probably a double standard for male vs. female directors? Sadly, I think that's actually the case. And it probably stems from the fact that there are proportionately so many fewer women directors than men ones that each project is perhaps more closely scrutinized for its content.” ThinkingMenFactsCasesDirectorsProjectsStandardsFemaleMalesObviousFewerStemDouble StandardHmm Author:Lynn Shelton
“I've always had good relationships with directors. I'm one of those people where, if there's a good idea coming from the sound guy, I'll take it. Filmmaking is a collaborative effort, whether it's a first-time director or it's Mike Nichols. I think that's the standard that the great ones set.” PeopleIfsThinkingFirstsIdeasGuySoundEffortDirectorsStandardsFirst TimeGood IdeasFilmmakingMikeGreat OnesGood RelationshipCollaborative Effort Author:Patrick Wilson
“Constance L. Rice, co-director of the Los Angeles of the Advancement Project, told the Times that Seltzer might have been influenced by David Simon's fake ghetto series, "The Wire." It figures. Isn't this sexism? Isn't this a double standard? They're hard on this young woman for her fake ghetto book, yet praise these White guys for theirs. So there's a big market in downing Black men.” MenHas BeensBookHardBigsMightYoungGuyBlackWhiteFiguresDirectorsProjectsStandardsPraiseSeriesFakeLos AngelesSexismYoung WomenMight Have BeenWireAdvancementRiceGhettoDouble StandardWhite GuysDowning Author:Ishmael Reed
