The Exchange Girl

The plot

The Exchange Girl is a short documentary about women working in dangerous conditions in silent film post-production. Those positions did provide women with an entry point to film work, but those jobs suddenly disappeared with the coming of sound. The film also explores how Margaret Booth, one of the great editors, started her legendary career that way. I'm a filmmaker and college professor in Los Angeles, and this is based on my PhD research at Berkeley and my book out with Routledge.
