@vanderjames : This is a man who was once made fun of for the way he talked, for being too “gay”, too weird. He could have gotten bitter. Instead he got better and better, built an empire, and now he uses his power to give people who have been marginalized a voice, an opportunity, a job - HALF of the people he hires are women, minorities, or people of color. That’s been his policy. And when I informed him that I had a baby due in the last month of shooting, which would require him to reconfigure a monstrous production, blow up the best-laid plans of hundreds of professionals, even possibly reconceive his creative... he didn’t hesitate. “We’ll shoot you out,” he said. And he did. He created space for me to be home with my wife leading up to the birth, and for it to happen naturally - with me there. A lot of inexcusable behavior in our business has been rightfully called out this last year... I just wanted to call out some of the good I happened to witness. Congrats @mrrpmurphy
