on Wednesday unveiled a division-wide inclusion policy that underscored its commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity for its content and productions, along with a “playbook” that includes guidelines for its collaborators in the creative community.
The policy covers four primary areas that offer actionable recommendations to continue to seek out storytelling that amplifies diverse voices throughout all aspects of the production process: Developing Stories and Characters, Hiring and Production, Reporting and Documentation, and Meeting Goals.Each film or series with a creative team of three or more people in above-the-line roles should ideally include a minimum 30% women and 30% members of an underrepresented racial/ethnic group.
Seeking at least three bids from vendors or suppliers on productions, one of which must be from a woman-owned business and one from a minority-owned business.“With the establishment of our Inclusion Policy and Inclusion Playbook, Amazon Studios has committed itself to being a thought and action leader in the transformation of our industry,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.
The company said it will provide a report template for its productions to indicate whether these expectations were met, to be submitted within one month of the completion of principal photography.
Hope this is not all bullshit 🤣 because Studios are famous for saying there going to do better with diversity & it never happens 👇🏾
