On any given production set, there are a wide variety of jobs that help bring each and every project to life - including editing, coloring, producing, directing - the list goes on. Historically speaking, the industry has been male-dominated. The Celluloid Ceiling Report states that by role, women comprised 18% of directors, 19% of writers, 25% of executive producers, 31% of producers, 21% of editors, and 7% of cinematographers last year.
