Netflix’s Creative Asia Forum Highlights $41M Spend On Creative Equity Fund, Programs For Regional Filmmakers
Netflix held its first Creative Asia Forum in partnership with the Busan International Film Festival (Biff) today, with 120 filmmakers in attendance from across Apac.
Minyoung Kim, VP of Apac Content (ex-India), provided an update on the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity. In 2021, the streamer committed $100M to the fund across five years to enhance pathways for underrepresented communities in entertainment.
Kim said that the streamer has so far spent around $41M on 200 programs, with over 13,000 participants in more than 50 countries around the world. Netflix added that over 450 people from these programs have gone on to work on the platform’s productions in a variety of roles, ranging from line producers and associate editors to casting assistants and grips.
The fund has partnered with local film festivals like the Jogja-netpac Asian Film Festival this year to run programs, and content agencies like Taiwan’s Taicca to run a six-week screenwriting workshop with local writers.
