Don't @ Me with Justin Simien
The Unicorns
Justin talks about what it’s like to be a filmmaker outside of the traditional studio system with producers Alana Mayo from Michael B. Jordan's new production company, Outlier Society, and independent producer Cameron Washington.
What does it mean to be an industry “unicorn?” For producers Alana Mayo and Cameron Washington, it means being one of a few black women in Hollywood working with a system that doesn't celebrate people who look like them. They both started their careers within the Hollywood studio system before setting out on their own. Alana Mayo is head of production at Michael B. Jordan's production company, Outlier Society, and Cameron Washington is an independent producer.
