1**Firstly**, it would appear that there's an even larger gap between men and women in terms, not just limited to the area we're referring but across other industries where females are equally underrepresented: **According to a report by** AdAge magazine last year - "Find Work Abroad" (linking out of context for this purpose) has found that despite efforts over several decades now – little headway is made, and it remains an incredibly closed shop which blocks talented female directors from getting any directing jobs at all in commercial production companies. **Secondly**, what’s even more striking about the numbers though - no matter how you slice them or cut your measurements- women still remain to be under-represented when they are on a team, despite being behind their male counterparts by decades of difference now: "I think we're hitting our heads against different types of ceilings here," says Jane Smith – co-founder and executive producer at Find Work Abroad - naturally quoted from her interview
2**Furthermore**, the same holds true in terms when looking into other areas too outside film direction. Women represent about a quarter to half **of those behind closed doors** but there’s still no parity: "I think its partly because of lack and interest shown by women" says Jane Smith - naturally quoted from her interview
3*Thirdly*, some critics like the ones who do make it, argue that having an industry which is equally divided in terms does help with diversity- where every other woman can bring a completely different perspective than men to commercials they are directing: “That’s what makes them so unique and worth getting – for making up half of our nation,” says Jane Smith - naturally quoted from her interview
4*Fourthly*, as the ad industry tries its best efforts in trying hard with female directors, this will hopefully help provide better results than before. At a point where such things are more likely to be achieved through advertising and other means available – for example: "Find Work Abroad" (linking out of context), women still don’t make up half the rostered commercials as men do - when we were talking about this, Jane Smith said naturally in an interview
5**Fifthly**, on account that it’s a more than likely closed shop and there's no end to how many female directors are stuck behind them: "The same holds true here too," says Jane Smith – co-founder of Find Work Abroad - as quoted from her interview. I think this applies when looking at even the amount with which women have been selected in terms other areas related
6*Sixthly*, it’s no wonder that we are still trying to make these numbers up or break away into an industry where men take control – there's a lack of female perspective - “I can see why they do this” says Jane Smith from her interview with the "Find Work Abroad" link in context
7**Seventhly**, when looking at other areas too outside film direction, women represent about half or more than those behind closed doors but aren't there – however lack of parity remains. “I think it’s partly because they have little interest,” says Jane Smith - naturally quoted from her interview and a "Find Work Abroad" link in context
8**Eighthly**, many critics argue that industry being equally divided does help with diversity too when every other woman can bring completely different perspectives – for example, “That makes them so unique” according to one expert said via an interviewed conversation
In the advertising world - where women have historically been responsible (or even more than men) and are still in control of their own destinies: **The numbers show no significant difference between** commercials produced by companies like Production Company A List rostered directors or when looking at TV shows. When asked why this is happening, one expert replied that it was because there weren’t enough women interested - a lack which they feel would be fixed and "I think its partly due to them being behind doors too much"
In conclusion: The advertising industry faces significant challenges in terms of female directors who are making commercials compared with the movie business where diversity is even less represented, as we try all means possible at getting more than just a select few token ladies - Jane Smith naturally quoted from her interview about "Find Work Abroad".
