    I think it’s more that if everything is made by boring, rich, white men we get less of a range of perspectives.

    Everyone knows creativity is driven by adversity, so having less privileged people telling stories is a no brained.

    You’re right about indie, I completely agree on that

      The other perspective of this is those rich white men got that way by making something that wanted to be seen. If the demand existed for alternate perspectives those movies would be what Hollywood was, instead of small indie productions.

        …maybe? But considering how insular and closed-minded American culture is, I highly disagree. These are highly conservative companies only going for the safe money.
