directors films given needs people sell voices word
There needs to be more film directors of colour. They bandy about the word 'diversity' a lot, but when I say 'of colour,' I mean Asian, black - I mean people of all colour. We need to have those voices given the opportunity, not told that their films will not be distributed or will not sell well abroad.
opposed work
I still take my own lunches to work. That way I can control what I'm eating, as opposed to another doughnut.
