My brown brothers and sisters,
Here's the thing...on the outside, you hear that there are new opportunities for all of us.
There isn't. They're full of shit. So don't believe that shit.
The most you can keep doing is just doing. Forget the "handouts" these assholes pretend they are giving you. Because, frankly, they aint giving you shit.
Have you learned yet? Hollywood Lefties are all yak and no follow through. You'll learn. And I'm not bitter about any opportunity I lost due to it (when Hollywood was more blatant about locking out brown folk).
In my next film, they are all acted by women, with women heroes and women of color. Why? Because it has NOTHING to do with their fucking color. It has something to do with a universal theme of people. It's not even a novelty casting (which these assholes in Hollywood love). It's because the ones who want to be in my short film WANT TO BE IN MY SHORT FILM. And they are like everyone else. Except they are proud to be included. As I am. And that is probably the message Hollywood is trying to articulate but failing miserably at it.
Any way, we aren't going to dictate what gets made. We just make it, regardless of any of these false promises. To you young White males who want to make movies, perhaps stretch your outlook on wanting to learn other cultures. My pal Evan casts multiethnic people. And he's whiter than a ghost. He does it because he is a lame Lefty. And he thinks it buys him good will. Or he's sick of looking at white faces (his own in the mirror, most likely).
For my project, it merely means EVERYONE has the same hopes and dreams for their children. There is going to be no indication of race as well. They're/We're just...people.
