Hey, ScreenwriterHank Byrd! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Awesome, I love and share your enthusiasm for seeing people of color in genre films, especially in complex roles. What would you say was a particularly proud moment for you? I just posted about Robert Rodriguez stating how proud he was that Spy Kids was allowed to be a mostly Latino family because he pushed for it: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing/Hiring-American-Actors
I also just posted about how the creator of 'Ramy' used short films to structure their series. I'd love your thoughts on it from your perspective doing bLERDS: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Using-Short-Films-to-Struct...
You should meet Suzanne Garnett, we were just talking about ways to be active allies as producers: https://www.stage32.com/profile/779056/about
