We have TONS of examples of "inexperienced, low-budget" male DPs shooting blockbusters. Sometimes they look great, sometimes they look terrible. Women deserve those opportunities too. That's how they become experienced.
interesting case you stumbled upon here 😭 they disappear from comments for ten months then return to exclusively trash on Alice Brooks, stating without evidence that she is a meritless recipient of DEI benefit. all their recent comments (that don’t get banned straight away) have no less than 8 immediate upvotes with their interlocutors often getting mirror downvote treatment—which just screams vote abuse to me*. very unique character here.
*this is speculation and i could be wrong
Go ahead. Name one.
99% of the time, they work their way up. There are hundreds of better female DoP’s out there.
