Sabrina Sugiarto, manager diversity and inclusion at FilmForward, is currently working on creating an overview of filmmakers and crew members of color and their needs.
At this moment Sabrina spoke to more than 60 makers and crew members. The talks Sabrina had with them made clear that there is a need to be more visible and to expand one’s network with both other filmmakers of color and established film organizations. Another important find is that there is a need for continuous development.
As a follow up to this research, FilmForward will provide support by organizing masterclasses. In these masterclasses knowledge transfer about diverse subjects will take place between the participants and inspirational film professionals.
