You would like to think that, within the
next 10 - 15
years, England will have something to show for the current
crop of talent

Greta Gerwig who wrote and directed «Lady Bird,» which won Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, noted that «it's been such an incredible
year for women in film both as actors and also writers and directors and producers and people who are really
coming to the forefront to tell their stories about the world as they know it from where they are standing, and I think that the response to these projects and the support that these projects have gotten and the way that audiences are going to see them or watching them in their homes, I think all of this just makes it so much easier for the
next crop of filmmakers who want to tell stories about women.»
