EMMYS: STAGE 13 GM, DIANA MOGOLLÓN: WE ARE ALL MULTIDIMENSIONAL

Diana Mogollón: “At Stage 13 we do not subscribe to a “one size fits all”
approach to creating content. We curate multicultural, intentional, and
intersectional storytelling at all levels. This means actively shape-shifting
alternative formats, genres, IP, business & production models to maximize
storytelling opportunities. The most exciting and critical part of our mission
is […]

EMMYS: PUNAM PATEL REVELS IN BECOMING A “SPECIAL” ROLE MODEL AROUND THE GLOBE

“Punam Patel may be a brown, curvy woman on the surface, but fans of her
character Kim on Netflix’s short-form comedy Special see her as a woman with a
tender heart and the roar of a lion.” “It’s important to remind people that you
can be confident, and still doubt yourself,” Patel says. “In season two, you […]

NETFLIX’S “SPECIAL” HAS A LOT LEFT TO SAY ABOUT DISABLED LIVES AND GAY SEX

“I want gay sex and “Special” to be synonymous,” O’Connell told HuffPost. “I
want my show to be known for topping, bottoming, top anxiety, lube ― all those
things. I want to take the mystery and shame out of gay sex by depicting it as
I’ve experienced it: erotic, humiliating, empowering, funny and intense, all
within […]

This is a story about how the Warner Bros Writers Workshop kickstarted my career
as a TV writer, though I didn’t even apply.

Exactly 19 months later: “Warner Bros. is shutting down its Writers/Directors
Workshop and Stage 13 unit. Both are major paths for underrepresented voices in
television. Big setback for Hollywood's diversity movement.” @MattBelloni

For those unfamiliar: Stage 13 is Warner Bros's independent studio/production
company "dedicated to amplifying intersectional stories and championing creators
from underrepresented communities."

Hollywood is in shambles. This is abysmal.
