I took two days this week and read ""Shooting Women"" cover-to-cover. I was fascinated and very moved by it. What a gift these three authors have given to women filmmakers everywhere. This book is not just for women interested in cinematography, it's truly a must-read for anyone interested in women in film, film-making, and working in this industry. When I put the book down I felt like I had spent two days at a retreat with a big, wonderful group of women filmmakers who deeply care about each other, and who really want to help support each others' careers. It is easy to read, and phenomenally rich in information and wisdom. A priceless book that should be included in the curriculum of every film school around the world. “Shooting Women” belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in film-making or women in film.' -- Maria Giese - Writer/Director, Hunger 'For any young woman contemplating a career in film production… this book will help to provide a clear-eyed view of what that career may look like.' -- Cynthia Close - Documentary Magazine Alexis Krasilovsky is professor in the Department of Cinema and Television Arts at California State University, Northridge.
