Diversity and inclusion in Hollywood, both in front of and behind the camera, has been a major topic of debate around the country.
UCLA’s recent Hollywood Diversity Report found that film and television content that is more diverse tends to be more successful. Yet, people of color are still underrepresented in fields such as writing and film directing.
AT&T (No. 4 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list) and Tribeca Film Festival, along with the year-round nonprofit Tribeca Film Institute, have partnered to launch “AT&T Presents: Untold Stories.” The competition gives underrepresented filmmakers in the industry opportunities they have not had before.
