→ TO THE FIRST WEEKENDERS GROUP FROM ALLISON ANDERS: Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don't like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don't see the film. By doing this you increase the chances of greater diversity on the movie screens across the country which is good for all of us. I admit my own laziness at getting out to the theaters to see movies, and buying a ticket is a pain in the ass for me since many years of welfare mother syndrome has left me with no credit cards, ahem! But I try to get to the box office to buy a ticket anyhow, and I urge all of you to do the same. It really does work! --- ALLISON ANDERS
