Why Invest?
Here's something the industry doesn't talk about enough: the data is clear. Films made by and for underrepresented communities don't just matter - they outperform.
According to UCLA's Hollywood Diversity Report, films with population-representative casts consistently hit the peak for median return on investment.
A ReFrame study found that films with women and underrepresented genders in at least 50% of major roles earned nearly three times more on average — $293M versus $117M. It’s is mispriced asset class that I’m investing in.
