#get working

On the first day of my first video class, less than a third of the class were girls. I was later told that was an incredible number for the school. 

I attended summer sessions, and stood as director, DoP, and primary editor. On one sleepless night of editing, my instructor pulled me aside to tell me the sad truth about the industry I hope to work in, that if I want to get anywhere, I’ll have to work twice as hard as any man, only to receive half the recognition.
