There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.” -Banksy |
“At one of my first jobs, I was always stuck assisting a male camera op.
Even after months of training with them and learning the gear and how they like to run things, I still wasn’t working on my own shoots. It wasn’t until an older female reporter spoke up for me. She was producing a project and the usual male camera op wasn’t available so she insisted that I go. After some hemming and hawing from my male boss, he finally agreed. My very first filming gig was with her. By the time I left that job, I had produced an hour long documentary for the company and it won an award for journalism. In essence, I just needed someone to give me that chance. Today, I’m paying it forward. I want to give women and minorities the opportunity to work in the film/video industry. I want to give them the opportunity to show the world their style and POV to the world with film. |
