We are an all-female service company. We roster no one. We are aware that many clients have a director and/or a producer they want to bring to the table. We fill the holes that need filling. We LIKE to collaborate.
We started this company because we were tired of it. Tired of “the boys” being chosen over more competent women in our industry. Tired of standing by helplessly while we watched money, time, and talent get wasted due to incompetence and inflated egos.
Damsel is a carefully curated team of hard-working, talented, and extraordinary women. Most of us are moms. Most of us are the breadwinners in our families. We are a team of female directors, DP’s, photographers, production designers, artists, producers, writers, graphic designers, locations managers, and gaffers — each with over a decade of industry experience — many of us lifelong friends. We help each other at work and in life. Problems are not problems for any of us. No one says no (except maybe the line producer). We find solutions, we do it calmly, we’re kind to one another, and we make sure that on every single job we do, people are blown away. Repeat clients are what we pride ourselves on, and we think that speaks for itself.
We are small by design. We carry a small overhead for a reason. We’re efficient and effective. We strive for nothing less than perfection, and we always make it look easy.
