On this week’s episode, DeVon Franklin gives us the low down on the initiatives he is working on as a new Governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences home to the Oscars.

#AcademyDialogues is a new series of virtual panels for members and the public, as a part of Academy Aperture 2025, called “Academy Dialogues: It Starts with Us,” with conversations about race, ethnicity, gender, history, opportunity and the art of filmmaking. These discussions focus on the industry-wide systemic changes that are needed to afford greater opportunities to women and people from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities and to create a new narrative for recovery.
