Option 1

 * Article title: Tonie Marshall
 * Tonie Marshall is a French-American director and actress whose career began at the very end of the 1980s and lasted until the beginning of the 2010s. She has also worked in the Drama and Television industries. Many of her films have been internationally recognized and she was the first woman filmmaker to receive the French Academy Award for Best Director for her 1999 film Venus Beauté Institut. She is also known for her feminist commitment and activism. She died in 2020 at the age of 68.
 * Article Evaluation: This article is of interest to 3 WikiProjects (WikiProject Biography / Actors and Filmmakers, WikiProject France, and Wiki Project Women Writers) which have all rated it as "C-Class" and two of them have marked it as "Low importance". The level of completeness is 41 and the article is consulted 42 times per day on average.
 * The article in itself is poor regarding the film career of Tonie Marshall and can be easily extended. It is composed of 4 sections ("Life and career", "Filmography", "References" and "External links"). It has a right-size picture. The information on Tonie Marshall is however quite limited (the first section does not give details about the films' production context, and a section about her activist life would be necessary). On the contrary, the filmography is quite exhaustive although it does not give information on the films' content. The sources we can find on Tonie Marshall come from diverse objects (magazines, books, interviews, critics, newspapers, etc), and we can observe that her death in 2020 revived studies about her. Many sources mention both her work and her activist position (cf her French Wikipedia page which covers a little more details and sources).

Option 2

 * Article title: Julia Hart
 * Julia Hart is an American director and actress, as well as a former teacher. She has worked (as a director and/or writer) on six films, including Miss Stevens, her most-famous one, starring Lily Rabe, Timothée Chalamet, and Lili Reinhart, and which is inspired by her own career as a teacher. She regularly collaborates with her husband Jordan Horowitz, who also works in the industry as a film producer.
 * Article Evaluation: This article is of interest to 4 WikiProjects (WikiProject Articles for Creation, WikiProject Biography / Actors and Filmmakers, WikiProject Women, and WikiProject Women Writers). Each of them has rated it "Start-Class" and one of them has marked it as "Low importance". The level of completeness is 32 and the article is consulted 92 times per day on average (but we have to consider the article on the homonymous "Julia Hart (wrestler)" which certainly biases this number of daily consultations).
 * The article in itself is quite poor regarding Julia Hart's career (she worked on 6 films since 2014). It is composed of 6 sections ("Early life", "Career", "Personal life", "Filmography", "References" and "Eternal links). It also has a photo but which should be replaced by a portrait of her alone. There is little information within these different sections, especially regarding the production context and the content of her films (as a matter of fact, the "early life" section is a little longer than the "career section").
 * There are not many sources on Julia Hart, except for some online content (newspapers, magazines, organization websites, etc).

Option 3

 * Article title: Mona Fastvold
 * Mona Fastvold is a Norwegian filmmaker and actress based in New York. After releasing video clips for her former husband, a Norwegian musician, she began her career as a film director in 2014 with The Sleepwalker, which she co-wrote with her current husband Brady Corbet. Her second film, The World to Come (2020), based on Jim Shepard's short story and starring Vanessa Kirby, Katherine Waterson, Casey Affleck, and Christopher Abbott, depicts a lesbian romance within a 19th-century isolated farm in the US countryside.
 * Article Evaluation: This article is within the scope of 2 WikiProjects (WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Women) which have rated it as "Stub-class" and is also supported by the WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers which has marked it as "Low importance". The level of completeness is 20 and the article is consulted 60 times per day on average.
 * The article in itself is poor, both in form and content. It is composed of 4 sections ("Career", "Personal life", "References" and "External links") and there is no picture. The information provided is very limited (there are no details about the films for instance or information on Fastvold's potential commitments through her work). The sources that were used mainly come from online magazines and newspapers and take the form of critics, interviews, and/or short presentations of Fatsvol's work, but there are few.

 * Conclusion:
 * These three articles' contents are relevant to the topic they deal with and are written neutrally but they don't cover enough information and detail about the filmmakers. They don't provide quotes and, in the case of Mona Fatstvold and Julia Hart's articles, the sources are not reliable and numerous enough. Neither of the three articles has generated a discussion on their talk page.
 * Although Mona Fastvold and Julia Hart - as contemporary filmmakers - do deserve an improved Wikipedia page, Tonie Marshall's article is probably easier to work on as the filmmaker has been more largely studied, and through more reliable sources.
