In this episode Sarah Taylor sits down with Kim French the creator of Edit Girls. Edit Girls is a collection of career stories from women working in Post-Production. It began life as an Instagram page, which was founded by Kim French, and kept going with the support of Mathew White and now has a home on it's webpage www.editgirls.org
Edit Girls was born out of frustration at a lack of seeing these stories being told when Kim knew they were out there. She started her career as an editor back in 2006 and would have loved to have had this kind of insight into how other women started their journeys as editors, VFX artists, colourists and sound engineers.
Kim started by reaching out to editors that she knew to share their stories but it didn't take long for women to start approaching her wanting to share how they started their careers and give insight into their working life. It quickly became clear that this was a much-needed space and the response has been so heartwarming.
Kim and Sarah discuss her career journey and how platforms like edit girls are much needed in our society and industry!
