Option 1

 * Celine Sciamma
 * Article Evaluation- This article has a nice "skeleton" but could use some improvement. It is rated C-class and has a general outline of Sciamma's career and films, but it has very little discussion of the content of her films and her career. Sciamma is fairly young and has not made many "mainstream" films but is generally celebrated for her filmmaking. I think I can improve this article's writing as well-- it is not well written.

Option 2

 * Martha Coolidge
 * Article Evaluation- Coolidge's article is in terrible shape. It is rated C-Class, is very spare, and discusses her films through the lens of which actors were celebrated for their work. There is no mention of her work since the early 2000's, other than in her filmography, and there is no discussion of her impact, legacy, or themes in her work, despite her films being nominated for many awards. I am not too familiar with Coolidge but I suspect there is a lot more to say based on what I have read. Coolidge also served as the Directors Guild of America President from 2002-2003, the first woman to do so. I think it would be interesting to research what she did in that role.

Option 3

 * Karyn Kusama
 * This article is rated C-class. There is a fairly developed section on her career, although it could be updated to include her recent projects. The "Early Life and Education" section is very spare so I would like to contribute to that if I can find more information.
