Producers Eva Longoria and Charles D. King shared their frustrations today at the Produced By conference, relating that studios tell them they looked for diverse crew members, but couldn’t find any. MACRO CEO King and UnbeliEVAble Entertainment founder Longoria said they are creating a database of diverse talent they can present to studios when faced with that question.
Longoria and King said they share the list amongst each other, and with other filmmakers like Ava DuVernay. DuVernay has gone a step further, creating the Array Crew database, accessible by studios.Even with a list of resumes, Longoria said producers must advocate for talent to get a chance. Longoria is directing the moviefor Searchlight Pictures. She was met with resistance against hiring cinematographer Federico Cantini for his first feature film.
King agreed with Longoria that their role as producers involves fighting to elevate other diverse talent. “I’m me,” Longoria said. “You would think I could get in the door. It still took an advocate for me to get in the door. These things help. You have to use this opportunity, meet people, nurture those relationships in this industry.”
