Zuaiter said, “This new chapter with FlipNarrative is something we have wanted to embark on for a while now. Audiences have shifted to TV in droves, increasing pressure on studios to offer content that reflects the ‘real world’, but despite this, Hollywood and the industry still appears to be averse in making inclusive films and TV shows that are truly reflective of international audiences.”

“We want an inclusive and diverse industry to become a reality, not a priority, where we can undo the fiction that has informed so much of popular culture. Where diverse individual talents are valued, can be themselves, be different and applauded with open arms. For voices yearning to speak out, we are the bridge of opportunity and a platform they deserve. Let’s flip the narrative,” he added.

Roger Charteris, co-owner and CEO The Artists Partnership and sister company, The Development Partnership, added, “Discerning talent is always looking for unique and ground-breaking material – put the two together and the result is exceptional work.”
