This year has brought about much change for women in the film industry. Every film made this year was released in a post-#MeToo Hollywood, and has been made better for it. There is no better example of this than the film Hustlers starring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu. Lorene Scafaria, director of Hustlers, did a fantastic job of respecting and uplifting the stars of the film. Thanks to amazing performances by Lopez and Wu, and the breathtaking direction of Scafaria, Hustlers was a hit in theaters this year. Scafaria will likely be working on, and directing, many other films and continue making Hollywood a brighter place.
