[challenges women filmmakers face] On the indie level, I really don't think we are any more challenged than men. Because we're all struggling. I've found the indie horror community to be super supportive of women. Where I find that being a woman can be a hindrance, is trying to break into the studio system. You could have a director who has done five indie features, they won't hire her. Instead, they'll hire the guy who did special effects and has no directing experience whatsoever.
