Dear list members,
Below is a link to an HBO documentary on Casting directors, an area, as we know, largely filled by women and the only major crew role without an Academy Award. I'm aware that non-US based members won't have access to HBO, but thought you might at least like a look at the trailer and info in order to keep an eye out for when it might be available on DVD etc. Looks to be hugely valuable for teaching Women and film history. (Thanks to Anne Helen Petersen of Whitman College, WA for posting this on Facebook.)
