Recently I watched Someone Great and Wine Country on Netflix. I also saw Booksmart at the cinema. WG featured the likes of Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Big names. Fantastic women.

I’m round my mum’s house and tell her that I’m about to interview a brilliant DOP. She stares at me blankly. ‘What’s a DOP?’, she asks. ‘I’ve never heard of that’.
