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.
Founded in 2017, Switch Up Entertainment is the home of content that entertains, inspires, uplifts, and challenges audiences. Through film, web, and TV, we promise to deliver content that will bring forth equity to the industry for Black people, People of Color, Women, the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized communities. Switch Up Entertainment vows to stay true to the projects and most importantly, ourselves. We will change the game.
"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."
- Ava Duvernay
