Fringed: Highlighting women and diversity in the film industry

It’s no secret that the film industry lacks diversity and inclusion. In 2015, the Oscars were called out with the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite because every category listed lacked an artist of color. And I mean literally every category. This movement was the beginning of the shift that the film industry is slowly making to be more diverse and inclusive. Fringed, a film club at Ball State University that focuses on women and diversity in the film industry, is working heavily towards bridging that gap while educating others in the process.

Five movies directed by women that aren’t talked about

Over the past decade, we’ve seen an increase in female directors given the opportunity to direct more high-profile projects including Wonder Woman, Charlie’s Angels, Captain Marvel, and Mulan. Other films like Booksmart, Little Women, and The Babadook get high praise for their quality, as well as being directed by women. However, there have been many other great films from previous decades that were helmed by women that were exceptional, and maybe even better than ones directed today. However, they have not received the same praise or been even mentioned when discussing films directed by women.

A Day To Remember’s ‘You’re Welcome’ is their blandest record to date

‘You’re Welcome’ is by far, the most disappointing ADTR record, filled to the brim with bland, generic lyrics, and unmemorable songs. The repetitive song structures make for a boring listen, not even halfway through. The record doesn’t add anything fresh to the band’s discography. Even though they changed their sound, their songwriting style has been applied before countless times. It feels as if there is nothing new from a  band that sets their genre’s standards.
