why aren't there more female film directors?

Answer 1

Because it is a hard field to get into and there are very few directors anyway. I think there should be more but there have to be women out there who want to be directors. It will be interesting to see if over the next few years if things change, as more people go to film school and more actresses decide to go behind the camera.
