Voters of this person list - View all

More and more talent are taking up multi-tasking in films these days
Here are some of those talents that I would call Cinematic "Triple Threats"
WRITER, DIRECTOR and ACTOR = WDA

The list will also specify weather those WDAs are Short Film WDA or Pioneer (pre 1980)
NOTE: I will try to provide links to full films, where available, for Short Film WDA.

List still in progress...
*Open to suggestion if you can give me the tittle of the film(s) they have Written, Directed and Played in

Please do suggest some female W/D/As as this list as way too many men, if you ask me! lol
