NO- this is so cool but blowing my mind OK SO i'm now learning, ironically from finding this reporter talk about emily's recent film, that this is the SAME woman who "played" the reporter in the curse ?!! see THIS is the kind of thing that's integral to representing marginalized communities in film/tv. i am going to semi-formally elaborate below.

in brief, the majority of people acting in the curse, save for the main characters (also, a decent chunk of the crew came from española too) are locals of española regardless of whether they'd ever acted before and this was one of many intentional production decisions by emily et al. made to ensure they were reflecting española as it is. this included, as i learned months ago in a panel, them inviting everyone hired to feel free to tell them what issues they wanted highlighted most and delineate the setting given ... you know ... they LIVE there, if they wanted to and were assured that it'd all be written in. indeed, it was.

thus, a collaborative approach to portraying this community, which is paramount to true inclusivity and proper representation of the community in question in media as opposed to "oh well you can give us ideas but we're the ones in charge so really we're just pretending to give you a voice lol," which is often a major issue with research studies in my profession (non-marginalized researchers research marginalized communities but treat the people as subjects rather than collaborators but i digress), was executed.

it is this collaborative approach, in tandem with the producers' research on all the social issues it gets into (said research coming from marginalized peoples and/or scholars. it has been stated that emily did a ton of it along with her and her husband, dave mccary advocating for scenes improvised by the indigenous artist who plays cara, nizhonniya austin, that innately reflect her experiences engaging with performative white liberals), that make the curse so accurate. there are no excuses regarding white people having the ability to interrogate themselves as a collective effectively in a piece of media and emily et al. (nathan, benny, dave, etc.) have set a precedent with this.

fruit tree (emily and dave's production company) has continued to impress me with their deliberate choices to lend the tremendous power they have- emily in particular- to producing projects (i.e. i saw the tv glow, problemista, the curse, etc.) from creatives they see promise in that educate and comment on imperative social matters (i always love media being used as a form of activism through education when it's done right), making those who experience any pertinent system of oppression as it relates to their marginalized identity the chance to express their experiences in exactly the way they want to, and doing so in a genuinely inclusive manner. hollywood take note !!
