when I made the transition from standup to filmmaker, starting by going to arguably the best film school in the world & making a feature film on my own, I was hoping that the comedy world would actually see that
and ya know
hire me
as my younger male peers rose up around me

I now see the formula that& #39;s more successful for female directors is to come up as an actress first bc people can wrap their heads around women doing that
but not to take a decade learning the craft

I& #39;ll delete this thread bc it& #39;s negative
and of course it& #39;s also my fault that I& #39;m not farther along as well
and I believe I& #39;ll still get where I& #39;m going
but you can gaze upon these feelings for a bit before deletion if you so choose
