KATHLEEN COLLINS has been recognized as the first African American woman to write and direct a feature length film.

 Losing Ground (1982) was Collins’ second film and first feature (The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy was less than an hour so not quite a feature). Unfortunately, it was also her last. She died of cancer at 46.
