00:00There's a group of people called the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers are the people, a very small group, at the head of the top of the cable, network news, Hollywood, a very small group of people who rarefied air, who sit down at a table quarterly and decide what we're making and what we're not making.
00:27And until people of color, women too, until we get those gatekeepers into the room, if you're not in the room, how are you going to shift the conversation?
00:39Exactly. And the room is where the gatekeepers are.
00:45Got it. How are you?
00:46Because people, look, I'm very happy this year, black films everywhere.
00:52But we don't know what's going to happen next year.
00:55True.
00:56You know, time is everything. It seemed like everybody all made a film that was eligible for this year.
01:04Right.
01:06But who amongst us is going to have a film that's going to be out next year?
01:10If we don't get in those gatekeepers, it's just going to be like a trend.
01:13Got it.
01:14Like back in the day, you know, every 10 years, we show up at Oscars and there'd be a nine-year drought.
01:20That's right.
01:21Like back in the day, you know, every 10 years, we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:26And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:29And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:31And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:33And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:35And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:36And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:38And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:41And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
01:42And we're going to have a film that's going to be out next year.
