'I'm a movie producer, gender-neutral award categories carry risks' - Producer and actress Adriana Randall speaks out about being a woman in the entertainment industry.
I wanted to do something big, that would make me seem more mature. I chose to perform a monologue from the perspective of a 35-year-old woman in a wheelchair. I thought it would be interesting, but it just did not work and I did not get a place at the school.
On the stage or on a film set each actor has a mark, and often I find certain actors, especially males, will move from their spot or linger in a certain place to try and get as much screen or stage time as possible. After a while, I became tired of constantly hustling as an actress. I wanted more control—over my contacts and what projects I was working on. I thought I could gain a little bit more power and respect if I worked on the production side of the industry.
Additionally, women may feel the need to dress in a certain way, wear high-heeled shoes and make-up. Even when there is nobody outrightly objectifying you, sometimes you can't help but feel a bit like a piece of meat. I feel that quite often with male-led movies, women have to be objects of desire. Of course, I understand there always needs to be something that sells, but I believe in keeping a bit of integrity as well.Adriana is pictured on vacation in Switzerland with her sister, Arabella.I do believe the entertainment industry is changing as a whole.
Regarding the removal of gendered categories, I think it would be a real shame if this were to become widespread in the film and acting world. I believe the intention is good, but perhaps that it would create more of an issue if ultimately more men win awards than women.
