    Hollywood's First Female Director: Lois Weber

    Lois Weber was a powerhouse director in her day. She wrote and directed blockbuster films. She experimented with split-screen storytelling, wrote boundary-pushing material, and even directed Hollywood's first nude scene. She was the first female studio head. She had lucrative contracts with major studios like Universal. At one point in the 1910s, her movies made more money than Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith. In fact, DeMille said she was his favorite director. So why haven't you heard of her? Why didn't her career thrive like her male contemporaries'? There are a few really good - and surprising - reasons for that, which we will talk about in this episode. Grab Bag Collab originally launched this episode. Stephanie Weber is the host, writer, researcher, creator, and owner of Directora. Thank you so much for listening! Please note that there is a microphone update after the first 8 episodes, so the sound really improves later on. Stick with it!

    The First Female Filmmaker: Alice Guy-Blaché

    On the very first episode of Directora, host and creator Stephanie Weber introduces herself and the premise of the entire podcast. This podcast celebrates the history of women in film, so it is only fitting that we start with the very beginning of the film industry and the woman believed to be the first female filmmaker in the world. Her name was Alice Guy-Blaché, and she went from being an employee at a camera company in France to the writer, director, and producer of over 1,000 films. Yes, you read that right! She even made films in America in the early 1900s, when her film company set up a second location in the budding East Coast film industry in the United States. Her breakthroughs include the first narrative films, feminist satires, and films featuring the first all-Black casts. This is the astounding story of Alice Guy-Blaché, her contributions to cinema as a whole, and what happened to her towards the end of her life. While many of her films are lost to time, there are several that remain. Please follow us on Instagram (directora_podcast) and TikTok (directorapodcast) to see clips of her films as well as promotional posters and still images. Welcome to Directora! I'm so happy you're here. Special thanks to friends Joel Walkowski, John Campogna, Jeff LaPenna, Veronica Hetschinof, Marissa Hansen, Emily Roscoe Jones, Brock Alter, and Alex Van Beek for answering my questions up top. Thank you to Daisy Eagan for editing my script and to Amanda Rossman for the final sound mix. Special thanks to Brock Alter for the art and tech help. It took a village to make this first episode of Directora! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
