​

Heritage is an entirely female-led company, which is something we believe gives the company a different perspective within the Irish production landscape.

​

Being a minority in the industry we have a heightened lack of tolerance for racism, discrimination, harassment or hate.

​

Although we shouldn’t have to highlight that we are female-led, the fact of the matter is that in 2019 only 0.1% of creative agencies were owned by women.

​

We can definitely see this gender gap ourselves in the industry here in Ireland. We strive to continue to challenge these stats by ensuring at least 40% of our crews are gender diverse when the national average is currently 22%.

​

We actively monitor our sets to ensure they are diverse - considering: cultural diversity, racial diversity, religious diversity, age diversity, sex/gender diversity, sexual orientation, disability.

​

Filmmaking and creating art is essentially about expression, feeling and having fun.
