one of my favourite things about doing the 52filmsbywomen challenge every year (aside from watching good movies obvs) is how it gets easier and easier each year. Like you won't even have to think about it anymore because you'll just naturally start to pick up on and be drawn to more female directed movies

It came right down to the wire, but I finished the 52 Films by Women Challenge for 2016. I hope people will continue to sign up, and hopefully this blog can continue to bring some small attention to it.

I intend to keep at this blog, updating whenever I watch a film directed by a woman, and more generally I have resolved to be more aware of where my movies come from. In researching for the Challenge, I came across literally hundreds of movies I had never heard of and am so excited to watch. The main lesson is that this is a deep well, but it needs to be deeper, and maybe more prominently placed.

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds

Directed by: Alexis Bloom & Fisher Stevens

My heart broke when it was reported that Carrie Fisher had passed away. I’m selfish. I needed her. I needed her voice now more than ever. Going into 2017 and the horror of this coming presidency, I needed to hear the strength, sass, and humor that only Carrie Fisher could gift us. Her passing has been a tremendous loss and Debbie Reynold’s passing put a bittersweet poetic end to their beautiful story. I feel deeply for Carrie’s daughter and brother. I can’t imagine losing a mother, a sister, a grandmother all at once. I anticipated the premiere of this documentary and have already watched it twice. I laughed and I cried and I’m grateful for the extraordinary work that they left behind that will continue to give me strength, inspiration, and joy for the rest of my lifetime.
