Director Alison Roberto “GIRLS NIGHT IN is a satirical horror short based on the Bechdel test. The test is a way of evaluating whether or not a film or other work of fiction portrays women in a way that is sexist or characterised by gender stereotyping.”

I would like to … Continue reading Director Alison Roberto “GIRLS NIGHT IN is a satirical horror short based on the Bechdel test.
