Empowering Diverse Talent: Unveiling the Helic Studios Models
At Helic Studios, our unwavering commitment to inclusivity guides our every action. We proudly present our transformative models, meticulously designed to amplify the voices of underrepresented talent and foster a vibrant and equitable entertainment landscape.
Creating a Level Playing Field
In the entertainment industry, representation matters. Yet, statistics paint a grim picture: Research by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative reveals that in 2021, women made up only 28% of all directors, and people of color comprised just 27.6% of lead roles in film.
These glaring disparities demand our attention. Our Helic Studios Models strive to level the playing field, providing opportunities for talented individuals from all walks of life to showcase their abilities.
