we did watch a short by Miranda July during the first short film night... that's the only female directed thing we've watched
Damn dude, good work! Did that stuff take a while to figure out?
Interesting statistics though; they make me think I should try to fill in the neglected countries, etc. Thanks for doing that.
Yeah, I remember the Miranda July thing but it is like a fraction of the pick that night (including cat soup and other wholphins' shorts). So I didn't count it.
It didn't take too long to figure out. I just need some time to think about what sort of statistics should be explored. It was fun to do. I think I'll do it again in 6 months.
