Both Constance Wu and Mindi Kaling say their most recent films – Hustlers for Wu and Late Night for Kaling – benefited from having women as directors. Kaling about Wu’s Hustlers: “Nothing felt exploitative. … As [a] woman, I love seeing beautiful women dance, but the way that [‘Hustlers’] was shot, there was nothing prurient, which I thought was really refreshing.” – Variety
