Having been inspired by the Black Film Collective who put together a powerful open letter to Hollywood last week on behalf of many brothers and sisters in the industry, we would like to send you something in collaboration with them, which we feel addresses our continuing issues with the UK industry.
Our aim is that this letter produces strategic commitments from you to reshape our industry into one whose words are supported by action. Toward that end:Banish “it’s too small” from your lexicon. It is insulting to our stories, our history, our impact on world culture, and our worth.
Many have compelling slates of projects in need of willing partners. There hasn’t been a Black/Brown producer on Variety’s “10 Producers to Watch” list since 2017. We don’t mean to point the finger solely at Variety, because similar lists are printed in various trades. In addition, they all seek recommendations from agencies, management companies, and elite publicists. So this incredibly valuable publicity is often limited to advancing the careers of those who need publicity the least.

🙏🙏🙏 this is why I admire you, Colin Firth
MeeraSyal Thank you for signing the open letter Meera. You are paving the way for all of us waiting for a chance to have our voices and talents recognised. I am in the whitest field, nature and science presenting, but I know I will succeed!
Sorry no Indian or Asian lady gifs in here so had to use this one.
Systemic racism is affirmative action for unqualified minorities in college admissions and employment. It's also why black people are 13% of US population but 70%+ of nfl and nba players.
Love to see it
You can read the full letter below, but at its core are four demands: ➡️ Banish your weak excuses ➡️ Empower black and brown independent producers ➡️ Expand your vision ➡️ Be more demanding
