Producer Effie Brown: "People Didn't Want to Work With Me" After Calling Out Matt Damon on 'Project Greenlight' Diversity Issues (Guest Colu
Effie Brown for NYT
People always ask me, 'What was that like?' and I'm like, 'It was like any other Tuesday.'
Effie Brown Opens Up About That Matt Damon Mansplaining Moment
“‘COMPARE AND DESPAIR’ IS A USELESS TIME-SUCK”
Effie Brown Keynote at Film Independent Forum Keynote speech
Literally every quote from her is GOLD (and that closing line about Matt Damon/Project Greenlight is so cutting that Damon's ANCESTORS are bleeding) but I love so much that she made a point of calling out "the whitewashing of Asian characters" at a time when Marvel's marketing of that fucking trash movie Doctor Strange is ramping up. You can't tell me she doesn't know that, and that Marvel isn't one of the studios she's calling out.
Project Greenlight has been given the pink slip.
Remember that docu-reality series about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck searching among a slew of contenders for the next up-and-coming white writers and white male directors to direct and produce feature films, such as that proposed comedy, Not Another Pretty Woman, described as “your classic girl leaves boy at the altar, boy falls in love with a black prostitute” story 😒 , and Matt Damon interrupted and whitesplained to black woman producer Effie Brown that diversity should only take place onscreen and not behind the screen?
This show is now dust.
SN: Look at the description of that film again. “...’your classic girl leaves boy at the altar, boy falls in love with a black prostitute’ story.” Notice how the race of the prostitute is indicated but the race of “boy” and “girl” aren’t specified because they always wanna make whiteness the default...
On this Jason Bourne weekend lets not forget Damon lecturing black woman Effie Brown on what diversity is...
