The Woman Behind The Women’s Direction

McKenzee has always been a creator; never enjoying any time where she wasn’t writing, singing, acting, sketching, making a film or bringing a story to life. She has successfully completed 5 major works in her HSC, graduated with a Bachelor of Media (Screen & Sound) from the University of New South Wales, worked coordinating short courses for The Australian Film Television & Radio School, designed and operated soundscapes for stage productions, fought with a half finished novel, and decided to start a small content creation business during the global Coronavirus pandemic.

With an aim to go into film directing herself one day McKenzee began writing The Women’s Direction not only to create awareness of the gender inequality present in the industry but to end it and pave the way for other aspiring women like herself.

Most of you have probably heard of the tragic passing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust earlier this week. Have you heard of Shudder? Well we dove into their library of films to collate a list of their female directed exclusive horror content which you can read NOW on the blog (click the link in our bio). Let us know if you've been watching anything on Shudder this spooky season? Before directing big blockbuster Black Widow, Cate Shortland headed up the heart racing thriller/horror Berlin Syndrome. One of our recommended films for 2021's spooky season. Held captive in an apartment in Berlin Clare must fight her way to freedom. With a Palme d'Or under her belt for body horror film Titane, plus critical acclaim for her previous film Raw 🩸, there's no better time to celebrate director Julia Ducournau than this spooky season. Can we see some ❤️ in the comments?
