I was honoured to receive the National Emerging Leader Award at the Telstra Business Women’s Awards. However in the lead up to this amazing moment, I couldn’t help but reflect on some micro aggressions I had encountered nine months prior. It made me realise that awards programs which celebrate women, really are important. If it wasn’t for a female leadership program I had been a part of at the time, I would have taken these micro aggressions to heart. In this article I explore what I encountered and what the underlying messages were. I hope that anyone who reads this thinks about the stigmas which continue to haunt women in leadership and in the workplace today.

The Sydney Culture Essays, published by the Committee for Sydney, capture the thinking of some of the leading voices in Sydney’s cultural life. As one of the essayists, I draw attention to the need for more investment in grassroots arts and film industry initiatives in order for Sydney to be a global cultural leader.

No matter what people say, no one can deny how important the festival circuit is for short films. Festivals give exposure to shorts, opportunities for distributors to see your work and that generates buzz.
