On International Women’s Day, Netflix has announced it's investment in the next generation of storytellers by pledging $5 million globally toward programs that help identify, train and provide work placements for female talent around the world.
The investment is part of Netflix’s Fund for Creative Equity, which was announced last week. The fund will see the company investing $20 million a year for the next five years in building more inclusive pipelines behind the camera.
It is aimed at increasing the equality of women on and off-screen, by supporting a range of initiatives, from workshops to train aspiring female writers and producers on how best to pitch their creative vision, to shadowing opportunities on productions that enable women to gain first-hand experience, through partnerships with local third parties and custom programs.
