ABOUT THE SERIES:

The American Cinematheque is proud to welcome in critically acclaimed author Mallory O’Meara with her new book, Girls Make Movies: A Follow-Your-Own-Path Guide for Aspiring Young Filmmakers. Join us for a short series of classic women directed films such as Greta Gerwig’s 2017 debut feature LADY BIRD, Patty Jenkin’s box office smash WONDER WOMAN, Drew Barrymore’s 2006 debut WHIP IT, Sophia Coppola’s MARIE ANTOINETTE and Lulu Wang’s critically acclaimed THE FAREWELL mentioned in the entertaining guide with introductions and conversations from O’Meara herself.

Girls Make Movies puts you in the driver’s seat as you create a fictitious zombie blockbuster and are guided through each stage of production and learn about the processes, techniques, and people involved in making a Hollywood hit. Luckily, every path through this nonfiction book results in the film being made, but you will be asked to make choices that will affect the outcome of the movie. Will you shoot on location or on a studio lot? Use practical or special effects? Hire a greensperson or someone to do pyrotechnics? The choices are up to you!

Paired with eye-catching, graphic illustrations by popular comic book artist Jen Vaugh, this unique, practical book provides young girls with advice and inspiration while offering a sense of adventure as they learn how to create a movie!
