Key findings
Findings relate to the film itself as well as the practice and process of filming. This was a hybrid student/professional project designed to address female avoidance attitudes to hands-on technology amongst female film students. Outcomes centre round issues of female peer to peer teaching, female 'techno-aversion' and the impact on 'gendered' professional roles.
