How Diverse Creators Are Evolving from the Margin to Mainstream with Flavio Morales
Manage episode 444542847 series 1346091
The entertainment industry is at an exciting crossroads, with increasing diversity in programming and more creators establishing their own content studios. However, it also presents significant challenges, particularly for producers and creators from underrepresented groups. As the industry has drastically shifted over the past few years, with streaming platforms altering the demand for content, it is essential to be disciplined and realistic about what the market can absorb. Great ideas are not always enough if they cannot find the right platform or audience.
There is no single path to success in entertainment, and creators must often work across different formats—whether in English or Spanish, scripted or unscripted content—to find opportunities. The industry’s changes, while presenting obstacles, also offer the chance for creators to wear multiple hats and diversify their work across genres and platforms.
But inclusivity remains a significant challenge. While there is a growing demand for authentic storytelling from diverse communities, the reality is that opportunities are still limited. Diverse stories, especially from Latino creators, often face more scrutiny and may be met with criticism from both inside and outside the community. There is a need for more support, unity, and collaboration within marginalized communities to uplift and champion their own stories rather than critique them for not representing every facet of their experience.
On this episode of The New Mainstream podcast, Flavio Morales, Board Member, KCRW 89.9FM and Estrella Media, Inc., explores how the rise of new digital platforms present more opportunities for independent creators to engage directly with their audiences while maintaining greater control over their content, offering new pathways to success.
