"Here’s a working-class lass, wandering the Dorset shore in southern England, looking, looking. Meet the world’s youngest paleontologist. At 12 she discovers the first ichthyosaur; by 30, her discoveries have transformed our understanding of the universe. Her findings are celebrated amongst the most august in her field – but not her. Almost a century will pass before The Royal Society allows women to even attend their meetings. Apart from a tongue-twister, she is written out of history… almost! Here she, Mary Anning, rises: strong, sharp, and determined."

Recent years have brought an increased demand for more diversity in front of, and behind, the camera. Industry insiders are starting to meet that demand. One such service is Collective Bunch, formed just this year. Collective Bunch puts together the talent with the producers who need them. Arts Rational member James Mainguy recently spoke with Collective Bunch's founder Jason Mackay.
