Why are Female Directors such a rare Sight?

-Film is very male dominated and it’s very much about the ''who you know'', in terms of how you get promoted. The whole way the business is constructed- just men at every level', which makes it really hard for women to get their feet in the door.


- 9/10 will be high positioned males-so women aren't even given the opportunities.


-Women just do not get into the industry as much as men, because there not given the opportunity to do so.

-Women have children and have to play the motherly figure


-There’s too much competition that it’s really hard to get into the industry and men get more of a chance to so, more than females.

Ways to improve
-More speeches in schools should be given to girls to make them interested in making films-Like Beeban Kidron did.


-More females should step forward with fresh ideas, so people are aware of their potential.

-More women should submit there work instead of being scared of getting turned down(because they'll never know if their ideas are any good if they're just too scared to submit their work).
