Empowering Underrepresented Storytellers
Array, a multi-platform media company, will serve as a powerful platform for underrepresented storytellers, providing them with the resources, support, and distribution channels they need to bring their unique narratives to a global audience. DuVernay, who has long been an advocate for diversity and representation in Hollywood, recognizes the immense talent and perspectives that have been historically marginalized and aims to create a space where these voices can thrive.“For too long, the film industry has been dominated by a narrow perspective, leaving countless stories untold and voices unheard,” said DuVernay. “With Array, we are committed to uplifting the work of talented filmmakers who have been overlooked and undervalued, and to creating a more inclusive and diverse cinematic landscape.”
A Curated Selection of Powerful Stories
Array will curate a diverse slate of films, documentaries, and episodic content from emerging and established filmmakers, with a particular focus on stories that explore the complexities of race, gender, and social justice. The company will leverage its partnerships with major streaming platforms, theatrical distributors, and film festivals to ensure these powerful narratives reach a wide audience.
Fostering Collaboration and Mentorship
In addition to distribution, Array will also provide mentorship and professional development opportunities for aspiring filmmakers, fostering a collaborative environment where artists can learn, grow, and support one another. DuVernay, who has mentored numerous up-and-coming directors, understands the importance of nurturing talent and creating a supportive ecosystem for underrepresented voices.“Representation matters, not just on screen but behind the camera as well,” DuVernay emphasized. “By empowering diverse storytellers and amplifying their voices, we can create a more inclusive and equitable film industry that reflects the rich tapestry of our society.”With Array, Ava DuVernay is paving the way for a new era of storytelling, one that celebrates the power of diverse perspectives and ensures that the voices of women and ethnic minorities are heard, celebrated, and embraced on a global scale.
