This discouraging data is a call to action. It’s clear we need more movies made by women, about women, and for women—and one way to get there is to clear a path for more women to rise to positions of leadership across the film industry. https://t.co/HkbuYZhfp0

@EquityLondonSth Thanks for circulating ☺️. Just to be clear it’s not specifically from us. We were asked by a growing group of actors and actresses to draw attention to it so happy to support.

These stats are really saddening, but not surprising.

BUT keep reading on the thread to hear about @MercuryMusicals' plans to change these stats!

🚨RESEARCH SHOWS GENDER IMBALANCE IN

Our thoughts are with Jo’s family and friends at this deeply shocking and sad time.

[Pemberton Associates @PembertonAssocs]

It's with great sadness we announce the sudden death of longstanding client Josephine Melville.

Jo was taken ill performing in Nine Night, a co-production with Leeds Playhouse & Nottingham Playhouse.

We are shocked & stunned by this sad news. Our thoughts are with Jo's family.

Congrats to #TellHerVision alumnus @georgiamac100 for reaching the second round of @femalepilotclub @UKTV with her peri menopausal comedy Rather Not Say. Clearly a month spent in our all female writers room was a fertile time…even if less than half of us had working ovaries 😅
