Nada Djordjevich writes about Badass Women in Film, “Filmmaking is an endurance sport, and there is no singular path, pace, or style that can get one to the finish line. I love reading stories of the circuitous route to getting a film made, and I get excited by people whose work demonstrates new possibilities for widening representation in the industry.” (WIFSFBA, February 2022).
