The Create the Writers Room initiative has revealed the finalists for the inaugural initiative which empowers emerging creators while advancing the dialogue of diversity and inclusion in the industry.
Created by writer and producer Rickey Castleberry of 19f Productions launched the initiative to not only promote representation of marginalized communities but to foster up and coming talent to celebrate individual voices and ideas. Creators and writers were required to submit a short three-page script and produce a one-minute short.
“This is the first of many. We want to be at the forefront of change, and give rise to new voices, which can only happen through the continued efforts of the allies we’ve formed with Create the Writer’s Room,” said Castleberry. He plans to continue these events and expand their operation in the next years with the mission to change the landscape of the industry.
