"My big master breakthrough was when I went to this conference and I saw this amazing cultural critic Imran Siddiquee speak, and he gave this presentation and was like ‘What must it feel like for a young girl of color to grow up and never see herself loved in media?’ And all I could do was cry. [...] You grow up and you watch film and it’s sort of like a little voice in your head that none of these people are like you - unless you get glimpses of black media or media with more people of color. But you find a way to empathize with white men. You’re like ‘Oh yeah, I’m this way just like Pony Boy from the Outsiders, because we both love our friends’… you learn to see segments of yourself in other people. I think empathy is a two way street and I think women and people of color have a lot of empathy to see the world through a white male lens. I think that we need to flip that and have more diverse stories so that people can see the world through other lenses. And that’s a real way to create change, you know?" ---- These beings have 2 days left to raise funds for a new New Orleans-based comedy film they're making called 'Paper Chase.' Their Kickstarter campaign is at http://kck.st/1P1vAZx. Check it out and spread the word. [Photo provided by @domino.lauren in lieu of being able to meet in person!]
