@evacide There definitely are some times I look back on and being a generic beardy white dude has been a boost to my credibility because I sort of look like somebody they expect to take seriously so I can get away with a lot.
Currently doing a pivot from tech to making a movie and people just sort of accept that I have the ability to make a feature film. Which I do, just barely. But I think my women peers have had to fight to prove themselves more. I could just kinda YOLO into it.
