“If there\u2019s specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can\u2019t change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.” -Kathryn Bigelow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We dug into a classic last month! Teens joined our online screening of Holes<\/em> and the chat exploded with laughter (and maybe some groans) at Stanley’s sweaty adventures. We debated Warden Walker’s motives, cheered for Zero’s hidden talent, and marveled over those mysterious yellow footprints. Stay tuned for our next online movie night!
