'As a creator, it occurs to me that in the next project that it is an absolute responsibility to put underrepresented people behind the camera and in front of the camera.'
make you think about the importance of representation?“It was incredibly gratifying for so much of our cast and crew who was native. They could feel it on a level that I couldn’t. As a creator, it occurs to me that in the next project that it is an absolute responsibility to put underrepresented people behind the camera and in front of the camera. If the show is about [that group of people or not], it doesn’t matter.
“I was frustrated. I kept trying to write a story like this, pitch a TV show with a character like [the one represented in the Instagram account,] and people weren’t getting it. Executives, bosses, older white men — they weregetting it. I just started the Instagram, thinking ‘I don’t want any notes, I just want to get this out there.’ I started curating stuff, and then I started shooting my own stuff. I got to the point where I only wanted to write my own stuff.
“I’m really surprised by how much it took off. When I first started it, I was like ‘Oh, I’m doing this Instagram thing,’ and was a little bit [shy about it.] But it’s been really cool — it’s made so many connections with people. Everything in Hollywood, it’s a collaborative medium, as it should be. But this is 100% me and it’s something that I can control. It’s like, ‘build something, and people will come.
“I got really obsessed with making things, and started directing things, too. The book was a cool experience because my writing came from Hollywood, and the higher up you go, the more voices there are. That can be really great, but also stifling, when you’re trying to do something different. I think it was because I had the Instagram, the editor and my agent saw what the book was, and pushed me to do it without nitpicking creatively.
