And Alfonso Cuarón from Mexico for Beat Director.

I believe in the power of the arts to positively change the world.That's why it's exciting and important when under-represented and oppressed groups start (and it is such a tiny start) to share in the decisions of Hollywood, and to influence such a huge industry.
I don't have any illusions that Hollywood acts altruistically, and I know that "the market" dictates much about what happens. However I remain optimistic that if more people see well-crafted stories told in compelling ways - and told by people whose lives reflect a broader experience than rich white guys-- then I think those stories turn into political will, and into a less vicious world.
That's my hope.
