Tribeca Film Festival panel (2024) - Why do literary agents hesitate to represent BIPOC Deaf writers?

Expressions of Black Freedom Please join Diverse Representation as we explore the various opportunities and challenges shaping the future of talent representation in the entertainment industry. Over the past five years, we have experienced historic labor union strikes, a global pandemic, tons of mergers and acquisitions, and the complete closure of entertainment companies, which have all contributed to the evolving role of agents and managers, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the impact of technology on talent discovery and promotion. Panelists will exchange insights on how some of these key themes are transforming the way talent is scouted, managed, and marketed.

Lack of BIPOC Interpreters at Tribeca Film Festival for the Masterclass: The Future of Representation panel

I created my thoughts on my iPhone note for the interpreters so they enunciated exactly what I needed to say.  I asked for Black interpreters for the Masterclass: The Future of Representation panel.  No disrespect to the interpreters they assigned, but they gave us two white interpreters for this specific panel.  Sign Nexus Interpreting and Tribeca, I am calling you out. I am dead serious about this. Let's work together - either by growing your list of BIPOC interpreters or by collaborating with Deaf Talent Media & Entertainment Consulting. It's imperative that we listen to the requests of our deaf clients and participants, as cultural representation and nuances are paramount.  THE PANEL TOPIC IS ABOUT REPRESENTATION!

Screening of What Somalia Wants at the 26th San Francisco Black Film Festival

The screening of What Somalia Wants at the 26th San Francisco Black Film Festival was a resounding success! The turnout was  impressive, and the audience was fully invested in the film. It was fantastic to see so many people interested in the story we are telling, and the Q&A session after the screening was engaging and informative.🎬🎥🎞️ 🎥The moment when the Black deaf people in the audience saw themselves on the screen was a powerful reminder of the importance of representation and diversity in media. Black deaf stories are the most untapped market.🎥 I was grateful for the opportunity to share my vision with such a receptive audience, and I appreciated the hard work of Cree Ray and her team in making the event possible. The interpreters were a great addition, and their presence made the event more inclusive and accessible. Thank you, Rob & Gen! 🙌🏽 #SFBlackFilmFestival #SFFilm #IndieFilms #BayAreaFilmmakers #JadeBryan30 #FirstBlackDeafFilmmaker #FilmFestivalTour #DeafTale
