Popcorn Culture - Supercut: Female Creators

In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director, for her film The Hurt Locker (famously beating her ex-husband James Cameron to the punch). She was the first woman to win this award, and to date, still the only one. In this episode of Supercut, we discuss female creators in the entertainment we watch, from directors and writers, to showrunners and editors - we'll be going through our favourites, and dissecting whether the industry is anywhere close to reaching parity when it comes to visibility and representation.

Produced by: Arvindh Yuvaraj, Lee Chwi Lynn, Sharmilla Ganesan

Presented by: Arvindh Yuvaraj, Lee Chwi Lynn, Sharmilla Ganesan
