When it comes to diversity, Hollywood is having trouble practicing what it preaches.
The entertainment industry is failing spectacularly in its efforts to diversify its behind-the-camera talent, with a new study showing that the number of female and minority movie directors employed by the studios actually dropped in 2022.
I’ll keep offering my advice until Hollywood wises up.
Whether you’re doing a historic period piece such as Ivanhoe or adapting a classic piece of theatre for the screen such as “Hedda Gabler” make sure to add LGBTQ racialized dwarves and elves into the mix, not just as main characters but also as directors. You can thank me later Hollywood.
