We would like to thank Creamsource for making it possible for two tables of our women in camera to attend the NZCS Awards! We appreciate being there in such large numbers! However, it was clear on the night at the NZCS Awards that comparatively the numbers are very low for women working in camera, this points to doors not being opened. Being at the Awards isn't enough. It's high-time women were given equal work opportunities.
The night was for camera, but we want to extend congratulations to talented Colourist and WIFT member, Alana Cotton, for five projects that she worked on received awards!
