In July, Indeed launched an initiative in partnership with Hilman Grad called Rising Voices, where ten BIPOC filmmakers were awarded a $100,000 production budget and crew (via Hillman Grad and 271 Films) to produce a 15-minute short film.
In this episode of Here to Help, Indeed’s CEO, Chris Hyams interviews Constanza and Domenica Castro sisters, producers, founders of 271 Films, and executive producers on Rising Voices.
The Castro sisters speak about the importance of representation for marginalized voices in the film industry, the need to challenge the status quo, and the impact of Rising Voices on the filmmakers and the industry as a whole.
You can now watch all ten Rising Voices films on Amazon Prime.
