Mimi Leder, the first woman to choose the American Film Institute, can now be considered a filmmaker with experience. Besides - after Kathryn Bigelow Mimi Leder - the second woman who makes films in the genre of "action-thriller".
Mimi Leder started her career as a cameraman, then worked as a script handler and only six years later took up directing. Short Order Dreams caught the attention of producers Stephen Bochko and Greg Hoblit, who signed her to direct two episodes of L.A. Law.
After working two seasons on another series, Mimi took on the production of television films and pilot series. And in the end, she was persuaded to write and produce a full-length pilot for the series, from which no one expected anything unusual. It was believed that this show would not last more than one season. They called him simply and unpretentiously "ER" ("Ambulance").
In the cinema, Mimi Leder debuted the help of Steven Spielberg, filming a large-budget action movie "Peacemaker" with the participation of George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, and then - a fantastic disaster film "Clash with the Abyss", which became one of the leaders of the 1998 film distribution.
