Our own @drstevejones.bsky.social was interviewed for this article about zombies by @tomjbeasley.bsky.social

Shortened abstract of essay "The Director as Facilitator: Collaboration, Cooperation and the Gender Politics of the Set" by John Alberti This chapter argues that women’s collaborative methods should be understood as deliberate political interventions into production practices that privilege the white male director. Drawing extensively on his interviews with filmmaker Lynn Shelton, Alberti focuses on the workplace practices of a director who functions more as a facilitator and curator for films that are often improvised collectively. doi: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474403924.001.0001

Reading student participation assignments in my "Contemporary Women Filmmakers" class. Reminded why John Alberti's "Director as Facilitator: Collaboration, Cooperation & the Gender Politics of the Set" remains one of my all-time favorite essays to teach! [Shelton 💔]
