Gasman.

Last Wednesday night, I had my friend Apryl come speak to my class on film and semiotics. I met her while I was studying experimental film in grad school. She is now finishing up her MFA in film at Columbia and teaching at the University of Washington.

She introduced us all to the work of Lynne Ramsay, an up and coming director whose work is visually splendid. I am inspired. And I am going to buy Ramsay’s feature length film, the Ratcatcher. I am also going to watch more short films.

Interesting to note, she was only one of two women listed in the Guardian’s 40 Best Directors.
