      I think it’s more that if everything is made by boring, rich, white men we get less of a range of perspectives.

      Everyone knows creativity is driven by adversity, so having less privileged people telling stories is a no brained.

      You’re right about indie, I completely agree on that

      As for homogeneity, that didn’t stop the Wachowski sisters from a poorly made rehashed cash grab of a Matrix movie.

      Yes, and they’re in a very unique situation, and importantly, were famous before they came out. Good luck doing it the other way around. Hence Ms Blanchett doing this, it’s about giving equal chances.
