“I’d say just go for it! If you feel like you have the skills and the drive to want to do it, then the element of being a woman shouldn’t hold you back. There are opportunities for anyone, and if you fit the role, no matter your gender, then you’ll be able to fit right in. I think it can be daunting, especially during your first weeks of going on site when you don’t know anyone. The majority are men and they’re probably looking at you thinking, ‘Oh, it’s a female’ but this has nothing to do with you, your abilities or the fact that they’re waiting for you to slip up. It’s just because you are in the minority, and you shouldn’t fear that. It’s good to show representation of women in the audio visual industry and if you want to join the industry and you’re a woman, go for it.”
