6 Things I've Learned From Female Filmmakers

6 Things I Learned from Female Directors

Filmmaker and movie critic Joseph Holmes uses 6 films, all directed by women, that have inspired his filmmaking journey. Sharon Wilharm and Summer of '67 is included

"For whatever reason, two of the best faith-based films regarding nuance and complexity come from two female directors. Roman Dawson directed this year's Breakthrough, about a family struggling with the impending death of their hospitalized son. Sharon Wilharm wrote and directed Summer of 67, a film about two sisters who struggle with their mother's suicide when they were kids, and worry over their men who've gone off to fight in Vietnam. Both of these films portray faith positively, but with sensitivity and without answering every question."
