Netflix announces $5 million fund to promote female filmmakers
Netflix has announced it will commit $5 million worldwide to programs that promote female talent in the entertainment industry.
“If you have women behind the camera, you see more women in front of the camera,” says Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s head of global TV. “If you have more people of color and underrepresented groups being creators, you absolutely see that reflected—and see those stories—in front of the camera.”
