For aspiring entertainers, it’s easy to want to give up the dream when you turn on the TV or flip through a magazine. You’re bombarded with images of superstar prodigies, making millions doing what you’re hustling to do and amassing thousands of fans all before they’re even old enough to rent a car. The myth is: once you’re 25, you’re way past your prime. That Oscar? Forget it and find a desk job.
Selma director Ava DuVernay, 42, is here to remind you that life isn’t over just because your younger peers got an early start. After 12 years in publicity, DuVernay quit her day job to be a full-time filmmaker, a passion she discovered later in life after witnessing Michael Mann work on the set of Collateral. At 32, she released her first short film Saturday Night Life. And since then, she hasn’t stopped making movies.
