405 - Indie Talk - The Art of Giving (and Receiving) Killer Screenplay Notes, Balancing Meritocracy and Opportunity in Filmmaking, and Tracing the Evolution of Black Representation in Media
Hello, Hello!
In this episode, the hosts discuss the art of giving good notes to screenwriters, the challenges of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, and the evolution of black representation in media. They also share their predictions for the upcoming Academy Awards.
We also talk about:
- The importance of understanding the intended audience and resources available when giving notes
- The dilution of DEI initiatives and the need to balance meritocracy with creating opportunities
- The impact of media on social perceptions of race and the challenges of defining a "black movie."
- The historical context of black representation in media, including "Amos and Andy" and Tyler Perry's work
- The challenges faced by independent filmmakers and the resources available, such as the Columbia State Community College's Film Crew Technology Program
