DGA QUARTERLY 79 GIRLS Lena Dunham (April 15, 2012) > Lena Dunham drew from her own life (not unlike her breakthrough indie feature Tiny Furniture) to create this series, set in New York, which many considered a kind of 20something slacker relative to Sex in the City. The multi-hyphenate said in 2013 that she had evolved as a director. "I am far more aware of camera, sound, costumes and blocking than I was when I started," she said. "I try and let myself grow and expand while also recognizing that the show has an aesthetic that shouldn't vacillate wildly." Dunham would end up winning a DGA Award for her direction.
