E554 Geekscape 554: The 'Casting The Net' Team Talk Hollywood Diversity!
With so many niche outlets and creators out there making their own content, it has either never been easier or harder to get your work seen! So whether you are female, black, LGBTQ+, Asian, Latino or other let's talk about amplifying your independent voice in Hollywood by making your own content for your own audience.
This episode I'm joined by the cast and creative team behind the independent show 'Casting the Net' to talk about creating a series with Black female leads, distributing it on an independent niche platform and the challenges and advantages that come with it! Series director Andrew P. Jones joins me along with series star Linara Washington (Killing Them Softly) and actors Willard Pugh (RoboCop 2, Airforce One, The Color Purple) and Charley Koontz (CSI: Cyber, Community) to talk about making the series, how the independent filmmaking scene is changing to be more inclusive (or not) and of course I'm going to ask about working with Stephen Spielberg.
