EMPLOYMENT
“From a numbers’ standpoint, it drives forward a valuable workforce”
AUDIENCE EXPANSION
“You expand your diversity, you expand the stories being told and you expand your audience. People want to see themselves reflected on the screen and will be attracted by that; more money will be made”
TALENT
“By actively seeking out people who have not been part of the ’old’ industry, you are discovering great pools of talent”
RESPONSIVENESS
“The industry is able to respond to changing demographics. This is what successful businesses do”
With increased production, the opportunity exists to train people for high level artistic and technical jobs including cinematographers and camera assistants. The opportunity exists to make the industry part of a more equitable society.
But we can’t do it alone.
We must move forward together.
