Amazon Studios today released a comprehensive Inclusion Policy that doubles down on its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity for its content and productions. The updates also include a playbook with guidelines for its collaborators, which aims to support the goal of creating “a home for talent of all backgrounds…to tell stories that represent the joy, depth, complexity, and drama that exists across our world.”
According to Amazon’s release, the guides “offer detailed and actionable recommendations as Amazon Studios continues to seek out stories and storytelling that amplify voices across race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability (including mental health), body size, gender, gender identity, and gender expression for the global Prime Video audience.”
“With the establishment of our Inclusion Policy and Inclusion Playbook, Amazon Studios has committed itself to being a thought and action leader in the transformation of our industry,” said Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke.
