In an industry that still has a LONG ways to go in terms of truly including underrepped creators, the POC directors in these playlists are flames of hope that things are a'changing!
Har’el doesn’t just talk the talk on social media. The director, who began her career working on music videos, advocates on behalf of women directors through her nonprofit, Free the Work, an online database for directors from underrepresented groups.
Facebook and Amazon Studios are among the backers of a new website that will help businesses and producers find female photographers, ad and movie directors and editors in an effort to balance up male-dominated creative industries.
In October, Har’el launched Free the Work, a talent discovery database that makes it easy for studios, production companies, and the like to find underrepresented creators including filmmakers, colorists, editors, writers, and more.
