Lights, Camera, Inclusion: The Battle to Fund Diverse Stories

Episode Title: Episode Audio Link: https://podcast.ablackexec.com/episode/Lights, Camera, Inclusion: The Battle to Fund Diverse Stories Episode Video Link: In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective, host Tony Tidbit sits down with the award-winning documentary producer and director, Eurie Chung, for a powerful conversation on filmmaking, representation, and the uphill battle to fund diverse stories. Eurie shares her unexpected journey into the world of film and the ongoing challenges of amplifying marginalized voices in an industry that often overlooks them. They dive into her acclaimed documentary Third Act, which chronicles the legacy of Bob Nakamura—widely regarded as the godfather of Asian American cinema—and the emotional journey of his son, Tad Nakamura, in telling his father’s story. More than a discussion about film, this episode explores empathy, cross-cultural solidarity, and why listening is essential to advancing justice and equality for all communities.▶︎ In This Episode 00:00: Introduction: A Personal Reflection01:03: Podcast Introduction and Sponsor Message01:50: Guest Introduction: Eurie Chung04:25: Eurie's Journey into Filmmaking10:58: Cultural Background and Influences21:58: Bob Nakamura and the Making of 'Third Act'34:46: The Emotional Journey of Filmmaking37:02: The Role of an Editor38:38: Father-Son Dynamics in Filmmaking40:40: Sundance Film Festival Experience44:37: Challenges in Asian American Filmmaking51:02: Historical Context and Legal Battles54:24: Unity and Collective Action59:15: Final Thoughts and Call to Action🔗 Resources Links and resources mentioned in this episode:🔔 Listen and Subscribe Listen to this episode and subscribe for future updates subscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit" if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive changesubscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokWhatsApp ⭐️ Follow @TonyTidbitfollow Tony across social media @TonyTidbitTwitterLinkedInFacebook This episode was produced by TonyTidbit ™ .
