Description
Summary:The gender gap issue continues to be prevalent in varying sectors in the Philippines even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to highlight women’s experiences in the filmmaking sector of the art industry working in an online set-up and to also clearly show its effects to their target audience, which is the working-class sectors in the Philippines through a short mockumentary film. Data was collected from six participants, men and women who are between 20 to 50 years old and have worked part-time or full-time in the filmmaking industry in the last 10 years. The results revealed some occurrences of the gender gap issue and with this data as basis, a 10-minute film in the style of a mockumentary was produced. Through the film, the study aims to shed more light on the issue of gender pay gap and discrimination towards women in the workplace and see it from a hopeful perspective.
