Here are more details about our Stage 32 panel in consideration:

Decentralizing Hollywood: Supporting a Global Film Community

Hollywood is now global, with many of the biggest hits in film and television coming from around the world. Stimulated further by film commissions, rebates, and other financial incentives, more productions than ever are happening outside of LA. With this opportunity comes the challenge of supporting a highly skilled international production workforce that in many countries must be built locally from the ground up. As these communities grow, new voices and ideas revolutionize production, further improving the quality and diversity of entertainment.

Panelists include:

• Richard "RB" Botto, CEO, Stage 32
• Marge Liiske, CEO of Baltic Event and Head of Industry Programs, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (Estonia)
• Mike Gauyo, Founder, Black Boy Writes/Black Girl Writes, Showrunner SEND HELP (AMC's ALLBLK), Writer/Producer GINNY & GEORGIA and INSECURE.

Don’t miss out on this great chance to have your voice heard and for our community to teach next year’s SXSW attendees what Stage 32 is all about!
