DEI

The Golden Globes association was invited to speak about its reforms and future goals at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. Founder and host Stephanie Tavares-Rance asked the tough questions, the HFPA's K.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced its sponsorship of the Academy-accredited Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, a nine-day event for independent and established African American filmmakers to showcase, screen, and promote emerging feature, documentary, and short films from across the world. The HFPA will present a panel discussion on its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in support of access for underserved communities in Hollywood and international journalism.

Neil Phillips, the first Chief Diversity Officer for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, is an unapologetic optimist. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Phillips was raised in the Washington DC area and went on to study English and American Literature at Harvard University.

The HFPA’s progress towards reform is continuing, as this week we have put more key pieces in place that will help lead the transformational changes that we promised less than a month ago. We said on May 6th that we would move swiftly to show our commitment to reform and that we would regularly update the industry on our progress.
