Over the past few years, while they haven’t come into the fold in the numbers one would truly like to see (I could probably count the amount of films directed by them in 2011 on two hands) female filmmakers have not only begun to earn more respect in the film world, but hell, they’ve even won Oscars.

And sure, she may not be a director as deft as someone like Kathryn Bigelow, but one of the more interesting female filmmakers around is one Karyn Kusama. A filmmaker with a distinct visual eye, Kusama is best known for the underrated horror oddity Jennifer’s Body and her first film, the shockingly good Girlfight (and no, I won’t be mentioning a certain Charlize Theron picture she also helmed). Now however, we know who will be leading the way for her next one, The Rut.
