DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: In the Company of Women co-director Lesli Klainberg

In the Company of Women is a fascinating documentary about the rise of women actors and directors in independent film. I never realized how important gay and straight women were to the medium. Lesli Klainberg and Virginia Reticker’s documentary is a reaction to the documentary A Decade Under the Influence which chronicled the rise of the maverick filmmakers in the 1970’s. What the filmmakers who made Decade never seemed to touch on is the women behind the camera.
