Women hold just 16% of leadership roles across VFX and animation. But what happens to those who do reach the top, and are they genuinely free to lead on their own terms?
Every industry likes to talk about community. The word appears in mission statements, recruitment campaigns and social-media posts, but genuine community is not built with a hashtag, and it does not magically appear when people need it.
Getting the leadership title is one thing. What happens when you actually have to do the job?
Working hard, becoming brilliant at your craft and earning a promotion should make you a great leader… right?
Improve your reel. Network more. Attend events. Ask for feedback. Build your online presence. Keep creating. Stay positive.
