Kickstarter: “Be Natural: The untold story of Alice Guy-Blaché”
I only know about Alice Guy-Blaché because I teach a class called History of American Screenwriting, but her story is one that deserves to be told to the wider audience of film fans: The first female director whose extensive contribution to the development of an infant narrative form has been been virtually lost to history. Filmmakers Pamela Green and Jarik van Sluijs have set out to rectify that wrong. Check out this video:
