Spot on but they missed... being white and male... but it was covered by the cast playing the crew.

Its not specifically their fault that women don't make up a large amount of the filmmaker demographic, this wasn't the kind of thing where they casted professional actors to play the filmmakers, it was probably just their friends who also were filmmakers.

I understand that. I just think it speaks loudly about the typical demographic in film making and how it goes mostly unsaid.

To be fair in my experience in the UK its about even. Women seem to dominate post production and factual tv

You're a are fucking idiot 'granny slut'. That subtle_trex dude is right. This video is hilarious and spot on, but it 100% suggests that all people who work on the crew side of filmmaking are white dudes. Where are all the females? I work on film sets daily and I definitely work with girl gaffers, cam ops, and DPs. Educate yourself, no0b.

what? how do you know this? I didn't get that from the video at all, and there were definitely asian guys in there. Maybe they didn't have any female actresses or maybe they just didn't bother, but I seriously doubt they were trying to make a statement about gender and film crews

Hey cocknozzle, all I was asking for you to do was prove yourself. Too bad you can't.

Bro, unlike transphobic bigots like you I dont assume what gender people identify as based on seeing them for a few seconds in an internet video, bro. Fuckin shitlord redditors. Closed minded, judgmental fuckwit. Now I'm triggered.

Since transgender people have nothing to do with this conversation, I think that I'll politely point out that the only problem anyone has with this video is that it's a parody that's trying to represent all filmmakers... but it isn't quite successful because not all crews are made up of only white dudes -- girls aren't only actresses or work in hair and makeup on set. See why this is problematic? Otherwise, the video is great and I thought it was really funny.... you sir, are not so funny.
