Diablo Cody makes her Directorial Debut

Need some mid week inspiration?

Here's an article from last October interviewing Academy Award winning screenwriter Diablo Cody about her experience diving into Directing with her most recent picture Paradise.

She really taps into something important for women in the media when she talks about not wanting to wait around in developmental hell. For many people working in film, it's a case of waiting for the jobs to come along, especially for actresses waiting for those great on screen roles. Instead of waiting, Cody did something about it and picked up the directorial reigns herself.

What a great inspiration. Instead of waiting for those great roles, go write them. Instead of waiting for a director, go direct it. Don't let other people get in the way of making things happen for you. Be the change you want to see in the world.


"Women in Hollywood realize it's sort of essential we support each other. We're the underdogs in a lot of ways."
