Why is it that women generations before us were able to secure jobs in the film production industry? The answer is not as simple as inclusivity: “women in film” were hired to be taken advantage of monetarily.
David DesRoches interviewed two women in film themselves: Heather Elliot-Famularo, University of Connecticut, and Karyl Evans, CPTV. They’ve both won numerous awards for their film-making.
“There’s less money involved in documentary film-making, so back in the day, women would be considered “safe” with less money.” Karyl said in reference to roles women play now and then in the film industry.
Takeaways from Heather and Karyl:
Giving male-dominated roles to women helps more women see that they too are capable of performing them.
