We Need More Lady Filmmakers Here. And More Minority Filmmakers Too.

Diversity can be a very good thing. And since we are indie, we don't want to passively mirror Hollywood's ethnic & gender make up of the filmmakers without trying to recruit & encourage minority & female filmmakers.

So, members & readers, your mission: when you come across an interesting new or relatively new indie feature by a female or minority director, let the films' makers or handlers know about this blog, & encourage them to think about encouraging the director to join the blog, to get more press & possibly more audience members/customers for their project.

Thanks a lot.

And of course, the best diversity is forced, called-out and assigned diversity!

Hmmmm. Not sure about exactly what the author of this comment is trying to say. So I'll say this: the best comments regarding diversity issues are comments that are clearly articulated. Weak humor does not translate well on a blog. And don't be afraid to identify yourself - an anonymous identity can be a sign of fear arising from shame. Thanks.
