"Major Studios in Settlement Talks with EEOC for Systemically Discriminating Against Women Directors":
Shit is about to hit the fan, and we couldn’t be any happier about it. Hollywood may finally be held accountable for their sexist treatment of female filmmakers. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) “is currently in settlement talks with the major studios to resolve charges that they systemically discriminated against women directors,” Deadline reports. The importance of this case cannot be overstated. The outcome has the potential to dramatically change the composition of the film and TV industry. At long last, women directors have a chance to get their due.
