Option 1

 * Article title
 * "Maya Deren"


 * Article Evaluation
 * Actually covers her pretty well, minus a few missing citations. But considering how influential she was on surrealist cinema (especially the works of artists like David Lynch), there could be more coverage of her mental / physical health (she died of a brain hemorrhage at 44 due to malnutrition), as well as her legacy.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * "Surrealist Cinema"


 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose to look over this one to see what kind of lip service it pays Maya Deren... and it pays almost none. There's one brief mention of her under "later films," but this makes her an afterthought to Dali and Bunel. The article just seems too short.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * "Lynne Ramsay"


 * Article Evaluation
 * Barely any mention of Ramsay's early life and career, slightly going into her Deren-influence (which I find to be important to understanding her). I would also like more information about Ramsay's history of being kicked off / leaving projects that were then assigned male directors.
