FILE - In this Friday, Jan. 25, 2019, file photo, shows the sun rise outside the Egyptian Theatre on Main Street before a morning premiere during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, in Park City, Utah. Sundance Film Festival officials are trying to increase diversity among media covering the annual event in Park City by paying travel costs for about 50 journalists who are women, LGBTQ, minorities or have disabilities. The program has become so popular nearly 320 people applied this year.
Movie blogger Rendy Jones was among the participants in the inaugural program last year. The 21-year-old black and nonbinary writer from New York called it an “amazing” experience and the highlight of his year.Jones missed the deadline to apply this year and briefly panicked, but raised enough money from a GoFundMe account to pay for airfare and rideshares from Salt Lake City, where he's staying with a friend, up to Park City. He runs a website called Rendy Reviews.
Sundance officials said they are looking for ways to improve the program, including moving up the application process so people who aren't selected have more time to make alternate arrangements.In a blog post about the program, Sundance officials said the lack of diversity among movie critics can have"a a chilling effect on rich discourse and collective dialogue.
"It can ultimately underserve the artists we showcase at the Sundance Film Festival, by limiting the critical voices that discuss their work," they wrote. “This, in turn, can directly affect how audiences meet that work.”

The more you force this diversity issue, the less effective your agenda will be... You have to let it happen naturally, and people will realise it slowly if they want it or not. Otherwise like I just have said, you, leftist liberal nazis will make this (too) a total failure
