Who makes these quotas though? I mean one movie company is run by a different person compared to another movie company. So who is this national government boss making quotas that they all answer to?
For example in Brazil, can a TV network executive say, I don't want to be part of that quota and just not be part of it, and still have his channel cause everyone loves to watch the shows? Is there really some wizard behind the curtain that will fire the executive and have him replaced cause his casting directors did not hire enough black actors?
Or me right now... I am an aspiring filmmaker graduated from film school, and I am looking to produce and direct my first feature film that I hope would get picked up after. Do I have to hire a cast and crew of a certain number of women, or a certain number of people of a different race to make the movie, or can I just pick the people I think are the most right for the job, regardless of gender or race, and still hope the movie gets picked up?
