Dear Theater Manager,
I have noticed that you are not showing any films directed by women this week. This usually means that women customers in your theatres are not seeing true stories about their lives, and girls are not seeing their dreams on your screens.
As a customer in your theatres, I am writing to urge you to screen more movies by and about women. I want to see more than just the male half of every story – and I’ll use my ticket-buying power to prove it! Show more films by women and I’ll come see them – and I’ll tell my friends to come, too!
Our whole society will be enriched when women’s perspectives are fully represented in the arts and every other area of our lives. Men will benefit as well as women from this more inclusive vision of the world.
There are many other audience members like myself who are hungry for authentic women’s voices and visions. In collaboration with The Fund for Women Artists (www.WomenArts.org), we are joining together to urge you to book more films by women writers and directors. Push the envelope, please!
Thank you.
