    Gina Prince-Bythewood is not only a female director in Hollywood, she is also an African-American female in Hollywood, and it is clear to see how that affects her work in writing and directing. In my personal opinion she is one of the most underrated directors and screenwriters of our time due to her unique ability to combine excellent story telling with incredible directing. In all three of the films she has directed being, Love & Basketball, The Secret Life of Bees, and Beyond the Lights, she casted mostly African-American actors. When asked why there is such little diversity in Hollywood, her response really stuck out to me; she said, “Behind the camera, it makes no sense. In front of the camera, it makes no sense” (Elbert, 2014).…
