Cate Blanchett launches program to empower female, trans & nonbinary filmmakers

“We’re missing an enormous creative opportunity by not diversifying. We deplore creative laziness, we deplore financial laziness, and so we should therefore deplore a lack of inclusivity,” she said of the industry. “Homogeneity in any industry is the death of progress and innovation. That’s certainly the case for the creative industries. When you walk onto a set that is homogenous, you can sort of taste the outcome. The things that break through that are fresh, that have influence for the next decade, always start because someone took a risk on them.”
That makes no sense.
Creative laziness and financial laziness have a direct impact on the quality of a movie.
Being trans or nb is completely different to those two things.
It’s like saying we deplore stealing and murder, so we should embrace string cheese.
As for homogeneity, that didn’t stop the Wachowski sisters from a poorly made rehashed cash grab of a Matrix movie.
If you want thoughtful unique movies, go watch something indie. If you want Hollywood cash grabs, go watch Hollywood.
That makes no sense.
