Sue is one of Australia’s most highly acclaimed creatives, and is deeply involved in the industry’s efforts to achieve greater gender equality as a Patron of the organisation Women In Film and Television, and the current President of the Natalie Miller Fellowship.

Interview with Joanna Werner

In this podcast, we explore the issue of gender diversity in the Australian screen industry, particularly focusing on the representation of women in behind the camera roles. So that’s directors, producers, writers and cinematographers, to name a few.

Throughout this series, we will be talking to female and male creatives and academics about their experiences with gender diversity.

Why is gender diversity essential to the future of the screen industry and of storytelling? What can be done to further champion equality?
