CAREER ENHANCING SCHEME FOR WOMEN+ WORKING BEHIND THE CAMERA

A pilot scheme to support and upskill 6 women+* for 5 months, through quality practical workshops, learning-by-doing training, a personalised support and the inspiration and guidance from 5 influential ambassadors in the industry.

The programme is aimed for women working in the film and TV industry within the following departments:

camera, lighting, editing and vfx (more departments will be added in the future).

*By using the word “women+” we refer to all women (trans, intersex and cis) as well as all those who experience oppression as women (including non-binary and gender non-conforming people) and all those who identify as women.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY

– A need for a truly inclusive and diverse workforce throughout all the departments in the film and TV industry.

– Current lack of upskilling programs aimed for the technical groups in the industry, which are typically the departments that tend to be less inclusive.

– A demand for training and support schemes aimed for women wanting to develop in technical roles.
