Cinema's First Nasty Women - BLU-RAY

Up on the screen, they'd flirt, self-assert, and thumb their nose at convention-and this remarkable curated collection of 99 genre-spanning American and European silent films from 1898-1926 celebrates female filmmakers who gleefully subverted their day's gender norms. The craft of Léontine, Florence Turner, Little Chrysia, Texas Guinan, Fay Tincher, Gene Gauntier, Mabel Taliaferro, and many more is spotlighted. 14 1/2 hrs. Total on four discs. Standard; Soundtrack music score; audio commentary; featurettes. Silent with music score.

A cunning anthology about seven, independent women - struggling, discovering and becoming the women they are meant to be.

Ben Cantor is a talented singer/songwriter who walked away from a chance at stardom a decade ago. Burned by an industry that wanted to change him, he chose a simpler life, living with his wife and daughter while playing the occasional song at a coffee house. But when a Reality TV Show, The Song, comes to town, Ben finds himself once again drawn into the intoxicating world of fame and fortune. As a semi-finalist, he transforms into the audience favorite, and his ego grabs hold and twists him into the very thing he wanted to avoid. In his swift rise to the top, will he forget what matters most in a world that puts fame before family?
