The effort to boost diversity in American films and TV series came to the fore at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival on Friday as Hollywood execs talked about pushing projects from underrepresented creators in front of major studios and streamers.
Sara Rastogi, executive vp of production and development at Issa Rae’s Hoorae Media banner, said getting the right resources, financial and creative, into projects by new and diverse creators is key to success in changing Hollywood.
“We’re passionate in bringing those resources to projects of color. A lot of time, it’s, ‘Oh, we’ll do something for this number.’ But that’s short changing what the project might really need. Top of mind is how do we support the creative, giving them resources so their project can be a success,” Rastogi said during the panel on feature film development at TIFF.
Reshaping Hollywood with new movie voices is also part of the puzzle.
