1. Always take the initiative. 2. There is nothing wrong with spending a night in jail if it means getting the shot you need. 3. Send out all your dogs and one might return with prey. 4. Never wallow in your troubles; despair must be kept private and brief. 5. Learn to live with your mistakes. 6. Expand your knowledge and understanding of music and literature, old and modern. 7. That roll of unexposed celluloid you have in your hand might be the last in existence, so do something impressive with it. 8. There is never an excuse not to finish a film. 9. Carry bolt cutters everywhere. 10. Thwart institutional cowardice. 11. Ask for forgiveness, not permission. 12. Take your fate into your own hands. 13. Learn to read the inner essence of a landscape. 14. Ignite the fire within and explore unknown territory. 15. Walk straight ahead, never detour. 16. Manoeuvre and mislead, but always deliver. 17. Don’t be fearful of rejection. 18. Develop your own voice. 19. Day one is the point of no return. 20. A badge of honor is to fail a film theory class. 21. Chance is the lifeblood of cinema. 22. Guerrilla tactics are best. 23. Take revenge if need be. 24. Get used to the bear behind you.

The definitive manifesto.

A Clockwork Orange Cinemosaic

I didn't hear about her until after grad school.

Alice Guy was the first female film director. She would become the first female movie studio owner, and one of the most prominent filmmakers in the industry, making her one of the highest paid women in the U.S. 

How could such an important figure in the birth of cinema be unknown to us? 

So we, filmmakers Pamela Green and Jarik van Sluijs, had a case, a real detective story. We decided to search for answers. We’ve discovered surprising new information as we began our research and interviews. It turned into a feature documentary in-the-making about Alice Guy-Blaché and the birth of cinema – Be Natural.
