Take, for example, Suspense (1913), a film featured in Early Women Filmmakers that she made with her husband Phillips Smalley. It’s a sophisticated thriller that anticipates different narrative and aesthetic tropes used by subsequent suspense stories. Suspense is about a tramp breaking into a house while a woman is home alone. In terms of creating tension and visualizing this threat – of intrusion and violence – to the safety of the home and female space, Weber and Smalley use all kinds of devices, from crosscutting and a triple-split screen to the use of dramatic camera angles. It’s a confident film that takes a familiar storyline and innovates it in fascinating ways, delivering a real emotional punch.
