Powerful...but discrimination, assumptions, hate of all kinds not only exist in today's Hollywood but are still pioneered by the same studio system this was ALLOWED to grow and spread in. When the almighty dollar and power are worshipped above human decency and conscience, it becomes very easy for all of us to look the other way, let alone speak out against it. I've got the mortgage to pay; alimony to 3 ex wives; kids have to go to Harvard and on and on. What's maddening about all of it, is that we're a part of a new world called the digital Universe. We, as creators of content...DO NOT HAVE TO GO the Hollywood studio route. WE GET TO GO RIGHT TO the audience. The global audience. And more of it will NOT BE theatrical; WILL NOT require large budgets and WILL NOT require the star or agency system. WE GET TO bypass all the b.s. that discrimination and hate breeds in, when the dollar sign is a primary objective. Tell a great story to audiences that really want greatness, and do it for all the great reasons...one being connecting to another one. Or...the past repeats itself; because we don't feel strong enough to let go of it. And that's on us. All of us.
