I didn't attend film school, but art school in the 70s. The male teachers were all dating their students. I'll admit I slept with my painting teacher, not to get a good grade because I was the best painter in the class... just because. At first he asked me what grade I wanted. Then when we began to fight he flunked me. This is the main reason I don't have a degree in art. Don't think the silence you're hearing from women on this list is because we have nothing to say.
