Only Academy Award Wining Female Diretor Kathryn Bigalow moderated a Q&A with Only Black Women to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Directro Ava DuVerney this week.
"In a week of so much happiness, this was the highlight. Kathryn Bigelow standing with me to share SELMA. Her work means so much to me. Took everything I had to keep composure when she told me she'd already seen it twice and called the film 'masterful.' I almost broke down. Major swoon. Great lady."
Bonus: From The 8 Most Badass Things Ava DuVernay Said About Being a Female Director
With the crew, a lot of them had never been directed by a woman, and further than that a lot of them had never been directed by a black woman. And I was dealing with a lot of men, and we were in Atlanta, in the south. So I thought it was imperative to have a conversation so that we were clear whose job was what, and that mine was to be in charge. I needed them to know that I respected what they did and I intended for them to respect what I did and if at any point that broke down then they would no longer be there. In a very nice way!
