What is the main focus of your site?
I am looking to increase awareness of movies directed by women, particularly while they are in theaters, but also when they screen at film festivals or other venues. I also like to direct readers to movies (also directed by women) that may have come out a few years ago, but are worth watching and are readily available on Netflix.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
As I said above, I am mainly just interested in raising awareness about women directors and their movies. I started it when I realized that I wanted to support women directors (who make up under 10% of the directing community!), but couldn't find a website that would let me know what was in theaters! So I made one.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
Everyone is definitely welcome and encouraged to leave comments, especially if they have seen the movie in question and would like to offer an opinion.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I've had this blog since April, and I try to post at least 4 or 5 times a week (more if there is a big festival going on).
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Some recent favorites are Persepolis, The Beaches of Agnès and Blame It on Fidel!.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
I was poking around the Internet for information on Cindy Sherman's Office Killer, and came across a blog that had the LAMB button.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
None.
