Lois Weber The Woman Who Became One of America’s Top Directors #shorts

The story behind Lois Weber, one of early cinema’s most influential filmmakers, and the moment that changed how history remembered her.

My classic film family will love this. Yesterday I did a lengthy on camera interview for a proof of concept for a docu-series called THE HISTORY OF WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD. I discussed film pioneers and trailblazers like #AliceGuyBlache, #LoisWeber, #DorothyArzner, and #IdaLupino. The team behind AMERICAN STYLE is behind this production as well. I know we would all love for it to be picked up! #oldhollywood #classichollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/B74uq-qnCZ2/?igshid=dg95z5wpqnx
