OK in a Different Way.
17 July 2023
The woman only version is OK.

It's not like the others which focus on movie making skills and production details.

This version is happier and more relaxed, but the director still has battles with production.

The hosts are all capable and seem to work well together.

The 2nd episode explains that the series is focused on uplifting under represented women, even in the production crew etc. I'm OK with that premise.

They spell out the rules pretty clearly.

Watching them build a movie based on affirmative Action at its core is interesting to watch. It doesn't always work out as expected.

The new group is much softer. They try not to offend each other in person, and don't get their points across. They're just too nice for the most part. The struggle they have, trying not to be aggressive is fun to watch too.

I've seen the movie, the advisors were correct in their criticisms while it was in production, but did very little to correct the obvious weaknesses in the movie, other than to tell the director to fix it, without follow up, or actual ideas.. The director they picked was very competent, but not overly creative. Very smart though.. She did many things very well. Having her help write and direct was too much for her. Too many other director functions she had to work on to create new visions to the story and script them.

If you like movies and want to learn about their production, you should watch this.
