W hen I made a call-out about an article giving a platform to the talented women working behind the camera, I expected to have an outpouring of responses. But, in fact, many were reluctant to get involved out of fear of making a stance, or because they had been so beaten down by the industry. For privacy reasons, this person shall remain anonymous, but her message to me read: “After 20 years in the industry, I have come to the realisation that there is no future for me in lighting, and I am currently pursuing other options. I sincerely hope new entrants will have a better start, as things are changing. But I have no fight left in me.” This was saddening to hear, and exemplified exactly why I should be doing more features to bring recognition to the women – and indeed, filmmakers of any gender and background – who are working tirelessly to create the content we love. I highly encourage anyone working in the professional video industry to get in touch with me. I’d like Definition to be a voice for change. This has always been an important topic for me, but with all the recent news of skills shortages and lack of crew, showcasing talent is surely something we can all get behind.
