Where conversation becomes strategy

INSIGHT FOR INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS

In our upcoming FiB conversation, we’re shining a spotlight on female Directors of Photography. We'll explore their journeys, challenges, and triumphs. What first inspired them to step behind the camera? How have they navigate a male-dominated field? What protections are still missing to keep their bodies safe on set? What does the reality of heavy lifting truly look like? And what changes are needed?Join us as we dive into these questions and more.
