The intersection of advertising and entertainment is front and center at this week’s advertising festival, the Cannes Lions, and as she preps a documentary about Megan Thee Stallion, award-winning director and producer Nneka Onuorah said it’s crucial for filmmakers to make the trek to ensure their work is represented accurately.
“I came to the Lions to do a lot of panels to talk about television, diversity. Inclusion, intersectionality and LGBQTIA+ in the intersection of all of it,” she told TheWrap. “I’m Black, a woman, I’m queer, I’m a director in film and a lot of my work gets highly publicized and advertised.”
