"benji" movies are out - quick decision at the gym!

so i'm sweating up a storm at the gym, and i look up, as i'm mid-row, and start to laugh.

i see a horrible grainy, extremely blurry and sqeud
version of a "dog" movie on the ginormous flat screen oddly placed above me.

and i immediately think: "i will never direct a dog movie".

this realization came to me just in time! i'm knee deep in reading my final film history chapters for the week, we're wrapping up the first quarter on thursdsay. but even funnier than that, is the book that i'm reading called "calling the shots" a profile of women filmmakers.

every woman in this book is ovaries to the wall gutsy and most are masculine.

the best part is reading about martha coolidge's past experience of primarily being offered "teen films" to direct - which i personally think is cool and way better than "dog" films.

i watched this animal run, chase, scamper and fight, and i immediately thought - "forget that, can you imagine how complicated and challenging it would be to direct a freakin' crew AND an animal!?".

never mind - case closed. no benji for this ho!

teen flicks here i come!
