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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aDistribution Matters 606 $aWomen motion picture producers and directors$zKenya$zNairobi 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zKenya$zNairobi 606 $aWomen in the motion picture industry$zKenya$zNairobi 606 $aMotion pictures$zKenya$zNairobi$xDistribution 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies 610 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Business Aspects 610 $aART / Women Artists 615 0$aWomen motion picture producers and directors 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 615 0$aWomen in the motion picture industry 615 0$aMotion pictures$xDistribution. 676 $a791.430820967625 700 $aSteedman$b Robin$01425025 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741391003321 996 $aCreative hustling$93555116 997 $aUNINA
