It's that time of year ( #MaxFunDrive) where I give a gentle reminder of what @SwitchbladePod is about & why I started it. 1. To give women a chance to go long on craft and process and showcase their artistry. 2. To introduce new artists alongside established artists.

3. To give the industry a wide variety of women creators showing clear interest in taking on genre properties. 4. To get people acquainted w/ women-created films by pairing them with their inspirations. 5. Cuz I selfishly enjoy craft and process deep dives—free film school!
