The subject came up in a discussion yesterday and I mentioned some figures: Martha Coolidge, Nina Menkes, Susan Seidelman, Penelope Spheeris, Joan Micklin Silver, Mary Lambert, Claudia Weill, Amy Heckerling, Kathryn Bigelow. What's interesting is that a lot of them successfully transitioned into commercial filmmaking and some of their hits became pop-culture classics: Valley Girl, Desperately Seeking Susan, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Near Dark.
