That is so interesting- my SO is in stage/film and BFF a MA. Here in Western Canada there seems to be a certain amount of gatekeeping by older gens in makeup/costuming that is keeping newer members out. But if schools are mostly graduating MA’s that only want to be influencers then I wonder what the real dynamic is. Are they turning to TikTok because they are turned away from film or are the Makeup departments protective because new members drop out of productions to become influencers? Do you have any thoughts?
