Ava DuVernay just hit a major milestone not only in her career, but in honor of all those who came before her. According to Women and Hollywood, the filmmaker's upcoming adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time makes her the first woman of color to direct a live-action film with a budget exceeding $100 million.

The news went public when her project was included on a list of films with budgets of over $75 million, receiving California tax incentives.

According to Women and Hollywood, not only is the Selma director the very first woman of color to spearhead such a film, she's only the third woman overall to do so.

Ever grateful, Ava took to Twitter to express her gratitude after hearing the news and also recognized those who paved the way for this to be possible for her.
