       And of course, Lena Dunham, faves: Tiny Furniture (Netflix asap!), and her HBO series, Girls. 

As we're in the midst of raising funds for our film "After the Wedding," which Claudia will be directing this summer in Miami Beach, I've become way more aware than usual of female directors in the film industry. I already have a few favorites (including my big sis, of course:) so I wanted to share some love for the lady directors who inspire us!

Do you have any fave female directors? Would love to know!
