Speaking at the New Zealand Power of Inclusion Summit, Caro also discussed the deliberations that went into Disney's decision to hire a director of Western descent rather than a Chinese filmmaker for the upcoming live-action 'Mulan.'
, says the enduring lack of leadership opportunities made available to women in Hollywood is simply "horrific.", a two-day event held in Auckland to stimulate change in the international screen industry.in early 2017, she was one of just two women filmmakers ever hired to helm a film with a budget of more than $100 million. Two years later, the total has grown to just four.in 2005, only four percent of directors were women," she said.
"Essentially, it's about a young woman who comes to understand, appreciate and respect her own power," Caro explained. "So the action needed to be grounded in some kind of [realistic] physics ... But that action also was so beautiful to create, because it all came out of martial arts, riding a horse, wielding a sword.
"They ask themselves why, and I tell them it's because the film was run by women," she went on. "Of course, you know, being women, we are extremely well prepared, and we were extremely communicative."
