3 - Lights, Camera, Gender? With Katie Smith-Wong

Published: Nov. 21, 2017, 11:40 a.m.

After getting all excited over crouching tigers and hidden dragons, Hollywood largely ignored girl-on-girl action films (the ones where they get to use samurai swords, kung fu and uzis) for almost 15 years. And then, suddenly, CHARLIZE THERON and GAL GADOT BROUGHT THE GOODS! \n\nKatie Smith-Wong talks about atomic blondes and brunettes on the fury road carrying immortal blades. We also ask how to capitalise on this new breed of female action hero and we get into strength and gender roles. But mostly we train 5 times, 10 times harder than we've ever trained before.\n\nRecorded at the London Film Festival, get in touch:\nwith Katie at https://twitter.com/Guitargalchina\nwith us at @beyondbech@gmail.com and @Beyond_Bechdel \n\nLet's get less furious, more Furiosa.
