All the sexist things I endure as a 1st AC on film sets.

DP went on to call me sweetie, darling, babe, and baby yesterday. Maybe some women are ok with it, but men - play it safe and just don’t.

[NotUrCameraBaby @NotUrCameraBaby]

DP called me “darling” allllll morning. When he finally used my name, it was wrong. After I corrected him, he still used the wrong name.

“I can’t let the only girl on set carry everything!” shouted the PA & grabbed the easy rig out of my hands. Maybe just offer help next time?

Key grip told me it's rare to find a woman who is BOTH smart and funny after I made a joke. #sigh #casualsexism #sexismonset

Actor just put his arm around me real tight and said, "hey baby." He's also winked at me about three times. #casualsexism #uncomfortable

Last week I watched 8 grown men stare at an actress in a cute summer dress to decide if it was "too sexy" or not for a furniture commercial.

"I'm looking for a pretty ladyyy....a pretty lady!" -the 1st AD searching set for our lead actress. #casualsexism #sexismonset

Same steadicam operator checked the behind-the-scenes camera op out from head to toe and then asked, "is she dating the musician?" #no

[NotUrCameraBaby @NotUrCameraBaby]

"That little blonde art production girl is trying sooo hard to keep her eyes off of me," -50 yr old steadicam operator about 20 yr old girl.

The four men prepping next to me keep strolling through my bay like I'm not even here. TRYING TO CHECK THESE LENSES HERE. #casualsexism

@urchin13 Today we have a female gaffer, female key grip and female director! (And me!)

"Don't hurt yourself, let the men carry those for you," -makeup artist to female key grip. #CasualSexism #SexismOnSet

65 yr-old sfx supervisor told my prod designer friend "to not join the union since this industry makes women own cats instead of children".

[NotUrCameraBaby @NotUrCameraBaby]

DP made oral sex and masturbation jokes yesterday. A girl made a period joke & he said, "GROSS, that's worse than all my jokes." #ItWasNot

[NotUrCameraBaby @NotUrCameraBaby]

This just in: "Waist up or tits up?" -The DP to the Director, regarding framing. #SexismOnSet

Recently filled in for a male 1st AC. The next day, the 1st AD asked him if I was his sister or his girlfriend. #CauseImAGirl #SexismOnSet

[NotUrCameraBaby @NotUrCameraBaby]

"What does it mean when a straight girl calls herself a feminist?" -The DP (can't be mad that he's asking questions...but wut.)
