“In the wake of the racial justice uprisings of 2020, we saw an outpouring of equity and diversity commitments from Hollywood. Our goal with Beyond the Screen is to inspire young women and nonbinary people of color to see themselves as tomorrow’s producers and distributors, while also modeling for other studios, networks, and production companies the praxis of creating meaningful pipelines for underrepresented communities” said Malakai, CEO and founder of Made in Her Image.
Founded in 2018, Made in Her Image has previously held workshops and incubators in directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and is planning another Panavision Catalyst Cohort scheduled for fall 2022.
The organization is dedicated toward social equity in the film, media, and entertainment industry for girls and women of color. Its programs include media literacy programming, programming, and educational media for women breaking into the industry.
