Top 8 Inclusive
PRODUCERS
from 2019 to 2022
PRODUCERS MAKING IMPACT
The Inclusion List recognizes the top producers behind the most inclusive films from 2019 to 2022.
Producers have a key role to play in the hiring and casting processes. Their work can be a way to ensure inclusion on screen and on set.
The producers recognized on The Inclusion List have a clear track record across the years examined of supporting talent– particularly directors from underrepresented backgrounds– to tell stories that are inclusive.
Few producers work on more than one film per year, so for these producers to have multiple movies on the inclusion list suggests they have a clear commitment to telling inclusive stories.
