Making a film is a group effort, but for entirely too long that group has systemically excluded Black, Indigenous, people of color and several other underrepresented communities. This is a global problem which will not be fixed overnight, but change can start locally and immediately.
—Ryan Reynolds
GEI connected me with some of the top entertainment companies such as Netflix for valuable workshops, and continued supporting me even after they helped me secure internships with companies like NBCUniversal and Lucasfilm. I don’t know if I would have had these incredible opportunities if I didn’t have GEI advocating for students like me.
