Marie Silberstein and Kyle Awa are the leading creatives for the See Them: Be Them workshop initiative. Aimed at 14 - 18 year olds it was designed to demystify the world of Post Production for our young people in Aotearoa.

In this episode we discussed the multiple roles in post production, job opportunities and how to start your career. 

We highlight the fact that storytelling is not limited to the Directors chair or Writers desk. Picture and Sound Editors, VFX Artists, Animators and Colourists provide crucial creative scaffolding for all screen stories. Marie explains how important it is to broaden our young people's understanding of the creativity found in these vital roles. 

A key motivation for the See Them: Be Them initiative is the opportunity for students from marginalised cultures to see themselves reflected in post roles and understand how important their voice and worldview is to the entirety of the filmmaking process. 

We must break down the barriers for all our young people to enter creative roles if we intend on building inclusive and reflective filmmaking teams in the future.
