There are many assumptions on how women should act, dress, and speak in this day and age. The demands are generic, and often contradictory. Wear make-up, but look natural. Be strong, but stay feminine. Act feisty, but not difficult. Growing up, I tried my best to adhere to these widespread expectations. These days, I know better. It’s time we dismantled these preconceived notions, and instead forge a path where young women can decide who they are for themselves. As a filmmaker, I am committed to representing women’s issues on screen; particularly those that are often downplayed or stigmatised. For too long, women have taken a back seat to male protagonists and creatives. I am proud to bring previously overlooked stories to light. Image-based abuse - or, as it is colloquially known, revenge porn - is one such issue. Explicit imagery being posted online without consent is scarily common in today’s digital age, leaving a trail of female victims who are often condemned for a crime they did not commit. I will say it once, and clearly: there is nothing wrong with women exploring their sexuality. There is nothing wrong with women taking photos of themselves in a space where they feel safe and respected. What goes wrong is when these private images are used for exploitation and revenge. This is a crime, and a gross mistreatment of trust and respect. It places the victim in a vulnerable position, which is only made worse by the victim-blaming that often follows. "Well, what did they expect? It’s their own fault for not being more careful." Sadly, this reaction is all too familiar. The greater public would never blame a victim of, say, a robbery. So why is it that when it comes to crimes of image-based abuse, women are perceived as being at fault? Snapshot explores the psychological outcomes of sexual cyber-harassment. It doesn’t by any means contain all the answers, but it does aim to show things from an external point of view. My hope is that audiences will walk away with a challenged perspective, and think twice before forming opinions on how women should act. We, as women, are many things. But we do not need society to dictate that for us.
