During Kering's WomenInMotion talk at Cannes, Jodie Turner-Smith spoke about representation in the film industry: 'I want to make my life about... working with women, with women of color, using the opportunity that I have to give opportunities to people.'

spoke out about the lack of opportunities and support afforded to women and people of color in the film industry, both above and below the line.

Turner-Smith noted how few working people of color she sees behind-the-scenes on a movie set. “When you make casting choices and you hire actors of color in something, you have to hire people who know how to do their make-up, who know how to do their hair, who know how to light them properly,” she said.

Turner-Smith, who is currently working on the Noah Baumbach film “White Noise,” also discussed her turn as Henry VIII’s wife in the recent U.K. limited series “Anne Boleyn.” Traditionally, the role of the historical figure — who was white — has not be played by a Black actor.
