WHO WE ARE

There is still inequity in terms of diversity, even with proof that inclusive productions make more money. Strides have been made to change this, but more can be done to achieve equity in all areas of the industry, from on-screen to behind the camera to the decision making.

Founded in 2017, Switch Up Entertainment is the home of content that entertains, inspires, uplifts, and challenges audiences. Through film, TV, audio, and digital, we are committed to producing work that advances equity for Black people, Women, Indigenous people, People of Color, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalized communities. We vow to stay true to the projects, ourselves, and change the game.

“…we need to continue to ask the question when we look around: are there different kinds of people that reflect the real world in the rooms and sets that we’re on?”

— Ava DuVernay, Oscar-nominated, Emmy & Peabody winning filmmaker

“Until I saw people who looked like me, doing the things I to, I wasn’t sure it was a possibility”

— Lupita N’Yongo, Oscar & Emmy-winning actress
