I am not sure why Davis is in bed, given that it is the middle of the afternoon in LA. Does Davis really think she can change representation in Hollywood movies with her festival? Yet, in 2019’s top-grossing films, women accounted for 37% of major characters and 34% of all speaking characters. Hollywood is often misogynistic, but if there is one thing the movie industry cares about more than anything it is profit. Davis’s optimism is impressive given how often she has been let down by the film industry.
