says she grappled with the concept of nepotism when she was a kid watching her twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shine in Hollywood.
"I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old. I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me," Olsen . "I don’t know how much I processed, but I did think, ‘I’m going to be Elizabeth Chase when I become an actress.’""Elizabeth Olsen didn't just magically end up in a casting room, she obviously had family connections," Demchick says."But I think we can all look at her career and say, she is a great actor, and should be working.
Daniels-Butler says she's "experienced more" Black and brown people in storytelling and filmmaking seats since beginning her career in the '90s, but there's still improvement to be made. people of color and female writers and directors remain underrepresented by about two-to-one compared to their presence in the population.
"I know that people only are looking at who's on camera. But in order to change the industry we need to be changing that we have more directors of all identities and walks of life," she says."We have more writers, costume designers, hair and makeup artists. … It's a full ecosystem."
