for failing to produce diversity data for productions that have already received tax benefits. He also questioned the need to “rush” the extension without first seeing the data.
Over the last two years, legislators have made diversity a central focus as they consider the tax credit program. Some projects, like the Latino-themed TV series “Mayans M.C.” on FX and the Netflix film “Me Time,” did hire a diverse workforce.“The productions that cared about diversity did really well across the board. You could see it,” he said. “For the projects that didn’t care, they did poorly.”, which helps boost Latino representation across the board. But on the whole, he said the industry’s track record is poor.
