The VFX industry has a diversity issue – an uncomfortable truth that is ever present in the wake of recent writer's strikes and labour disputes. We sat down with Amy Mercer, Founder of UpliftUs, to discuss the issues facing the industry and how professionals can work towards building a more inclusive creative sphere for all.
Starting as a resource to address gender inequality in the creative sector, UpliftUs has evolved into a united community that empowers all people to engage in meaningful discussions around inequality in the industry. With a focus on the social and societal barriers facing creative professionals, UpliftUs is a community built upon supporting, empowering and uniting creatives to curate a more inclusive and empathetic industry.
