How To Keep Your Extender From Catching & Pulling
If you have a small wrist & don't need to use the extender, there is an easy way to keep it from hanging from your wrist! Take the end of the chain & clasp it with the end of the bracelet. This will cut the length of the extender in half! If you want to purchase the bracelet without the extender, let us know in the "Add A Note" section at purchase.
Every bracelet is made with natural Iolite of the same shape & size, however, the color of the gemstone may vary slightly.
From her very first project — a 20-minute short featuring two characters fighting as a way to deconstruct violence in film — Bigelow has been a powerful new voice in the history of action cinema.
After finding early success in the 1990s with genre classics like Blue Steel, Point Break, and Strange Days, Bigelow’s biggest breakthrough came after a six-year break with 2008’s The Hurt Locker.
Representing a stylistic and tonal shift for the director, The Hurt Locker was much darker, grittier, and more realized than her previous films. It was also shot with what could be considered closer to an indie filmmaker’s perspective, as its production was smaller and more documentarian in approach.
This removal of the constraints of big budget blockbuster expectations helped give Bigelow’s filmmaking more room to breathe, so to speak. Her first foray into this style found immediate success, with Bigelow winning her Best Director Oscar, as well as the film taking home the award for Best Picture.
With an Oscar under her belt, Bigelow’s name has finally been added in the mix as one of the greatest action directors of all time, as well as one of the most respected voices in the room in regards to the current state of action filmmaking as well as cinema in general.
Along with her peers like Peter Jackson, Lee Daniels, and Quentin Tarantino, Bigelow’s years of experience and fierce cinematic voice are also helping to shape filmmaking’s future.
From Point Break to Zero Dark Thirty, Bigelow’s work behind the camera almost single-handedly gave the action genre a complete makeover, adding in much needed realism, an extra level of kinetic energy, and a deeper understanding of what makes our beloved action heroes tick.
