Cannes Film Festival Tackles Diversity in Hollywood with Spike Lee Symposium

We supported a symposium at the Cannes Film Festival featuring Spike Lee, a director who continues to create films that explore provocative topics like race, politics and violence, along with other celebrities from the Black Panther movie. 

We created a pinpointed influencers list that focused on reporters, bloggers and feature writers. HelloPitch identified local social media campaigns that would spread the message on social media and digital channels. 

Make It Happen Entertainment (MIHE) is a full service independent film and television production company developing and producing entertaining, thought-provoking, commercially viable feature films and television programming with the U.S. and abroad.

Reaching Out To Black Influencers + Celebrities

Our agency recognized the importance of diversity in the entertainment industry, and we wanted to take action to create change. We reached out to 100 top black influencers and celebrities, inviting them to the Cannes film festival symposium. We wanted to hear their perspectives on how to create more opportunities for people of color in the industry.

The response was overwhelming. Many of the influencers and celebrities were excited to participate in the discussion, and they brought valuable insights and ideas to the table. We had a frank and open conversation about the challenges facing people of color in the industry, and we discussed potential solutions and strategies for creating change.

The Future Of The Entertainment Industry

The symposium was just the beginning. Our agency is committed to continuing the conversation and taking action to create a more diverse and inclusive entertainment industry. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background.

We are proud to have reached out to black influencers and celebrities to start this important conversation. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for the entertainment industry and for society as a whole.
