Based on original empirical research, Steedman explores how these women pair their cinematic ability with an equally apt business acumen, contributing to a narrative of what it takes to succeed as a filmmaker in Nairobi. This book theorizes "hustling" as a creative practice and an innovative mode of working-one that can teach us new lessons about what it takes to produce and distribute film today, in a global age increasingly marked by flexible and precarious work"--Provided by publisher.Distribution MattersWomen motion picture producers and directorsKenyaNairobiMotion picture producers and directorsKenyaNairobiWomen in the motion picture industryKenyaNairobiMotion picturesKenyaNairobiDistributionSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media StudiesPERFORMING ARTS / Business AspectsART / Women ArtistsWomen motion picture producers and directorsMotion picture producers and directorsWomen in the motion picture industryMotion picturesDistribution.791.430820967625Steedman Robin1425025OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910741391003321Creative hustling3555116UNINA
