Ah, the "Celluloid Ceiling" for #WomenInHollywood...

"93% of the top 250 films last year had no female cinematographers, 91% lacked a female composer, 75% didn’t have a female editor, and 70% had no women as writers."

As a female writer and composer (and director/editor by necessity), I'd like to say:

HIRE US. Our work is excellent. We just need a foot in the door.
