The film and advertising industries are sorely in need of more diversity, and there are many queer creatives of color eager to step into these industries and create change behind the scenes. Unfortunately, hard work and talent alone are not always enough to get the work of queer creatives of color into the studios, meetings, and offices they deserve to be in. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. The creative industries in LA can provide steady jobs and income to ambitious young creatives while also providing more diverse stories to the country as a whole. There’s no time like today to create more authentic narratives featuring queer people and people of color.
