Creativity and diversity
summary
MeToo triggers the fastest cultural shift seen in decades, pushing real consequences onto aggressors and changing hiring choices — e.g., a female-only director shortlist for Y: The Last Man — while studios still favor known IP because of high production and distribution costs. Examples cited: Black Panther success, Crazy Rich Asians cast, and counterexamples like Get Out and Hidden Figures proving diverse films can be top earners. Practical fixes include targeted recruiting, apprenticeship pathways and stipends for interns to expand the talent pipeline.
