OUR STORY
Although there is evidence to prove that productions with inclusive casts and crew make more money, there is still inequity in terms of representation and inclusion. Strides are being made to change this, but more can be done to achieve equitable inclusion in all levels of the industry, in front and behind the camera, and in the decision making. We vow to aid this change.

"Until I saw people who looked like me, doing the things I wanted to, I wasn't so sure it was a possibility."

"...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?’ If the answer is no, then you’re failing."
