We're with you 100% Emma Butt Sound

In these difficult times the push for equality mustn’t be lost so we echo Inside the Baftas disappointment with the stats, only 28% of the entries for the directing category were for women compared to 72% men #50/50Pledge

BUT in the @Bafta Craft awards you are 3 times less likely to be entered for consideration in a directing category if you’re a woman

This is disappointing news to say the least. Much stronger commitment to the 50/50 pledge needed!

The industry likes loves to talk equality but when it comes to taking a chance on female directors (which is what is required here!!), not so much!

Companies & Broadcasters- sign up now to our 50/50 pledge and help change this, you’ll be in good company!

Read more about the latest gender in factual tv stats 👇

Concerning report from We Are Doc Women that the number of women directing factual TV has fallen from around one in three to around one in four in the past two years. That's bad for the industry and clearly needs to change.

How are you coping financially? The @filmtvcharity has launched a new Financial Survey to see how you’re navigating these turbulent times.
