Jennifer Crystal Chien talks about advocating for BIPOC in documentary industry in a very tangible way with Toni B. on “What’s up with Docs” podcast. “Documentary is a step behind the non-profit industry…” “I think the documentary industry struggles with the same things that the fiction industry struggles with…” “…there is disconnect between who is asking the questions and who the film is for…” “There is sort of a limited number of portrayals of ourselves that are considered acceptable or supportable. And things that break outside of that are often finding it very difficult to get funding and support for. We have to question, ‘Why is that?’” “We don’t need to just problemitize our communities and say, ‘We can only see your communities if it touches upon these problems that we know your communities have.’ … What happens to the rest of our lives? What happens to the fullness of our experiences?” “How can we become ‘whole’ as BIPOC filmmakers?” Literature is much older then film as a form of communication.. “When you look at a work of literature, you wouldn’t say, ‘What are the measures of social impact of this novel? And unless this novel can accomplish tangible concrete outcomes then we are not going to support the writer in creating this book.’ … But there have been revolutions started with books. There have been wars that have started and ended with books— you know, complete changes in the way people see various aspects of society...”

If you're not listening carefully to your audience, you're at great risk. Just the latest reminder of this: a distinct lack of chatter I'm seeing about the Oscars, even though we're just a couple of days away from what is ostensibly the biggest entertainment event of the year. I'm not surprised, though, considering the growing divide between what audiences are actually watching and wanting, and what mainstream Hollywood entertainment is delivering. This disconnect—and its threat to the future of the entertainment business itself—was summed up neatly by Dr. Stacy L. S., a professor and founder of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism's Inclusion Initiative on a recent episode of Puck's "The Town" podcast. Here are a few of the choicest mic-drop moments from her interview with Matthew Belloni: 📣 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬: "Though [the voters of the Academy and Hollywood green lighting teams] think they know what they’re choosing when it comes to talent, authenticity [and] powerful storytelling, they are at a complete disconnect from the audience." 📣 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐙 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐆𝐀𝐅 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬: "The big joke is that, in a couple of Mondays, I’m going to go into class and ask: how many of you watched the Oscars? [Perhaps] 2 or 3 people [will] raise their hands. How many more years will this be televised? The audience doesn’t care.” 📣 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: "There’s going to be a workforce crisis because the folks that are coming up through the ranks of these companies or graduating from colleges, they don't want to work at these legacy companies because of these very issues." 📣 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: "Those executive decision making bodies ... they need to change and they need to change fast." The February 22 episode is definitely worth a listen in its entirety. Link in the comments. #hollywood #oscars #audienceengagement #entertainmentindustry
