10 Most Exciting Women Working in Film Today

10. Sarah Polley

Key Work: Take This Waltz Most Recent/ Upcoming Project: Stories We Tell Twitter: @SarahEPolley Chances are you may not have heard of the disgustingly talented writer/director/actress Sarah Polley. But her recent drama 'Take This Waltz' has gone down a storm amongst the indie crowds, and her Julie Christie-starrer Away From Her basically became a well-deserved awards whore. Basically, she's bloody good at doing small, intimate dramas. And in this world of CGI-bloated blockbusters and sundance dramas about white 20-somethings and their problems, Polley's something different. She's been oscar-nominated, she's worked with Terry Gilliam, and she's a great an actress as she is a director/writer. Watch out, because she's very good now, but soon she'll be huge.
