Inclusivity &
Impact

INCLUSIVITY

Electric Marshmallow Productions recognizes that years of research into representation has clearly shown that we internalize what we watch on television. We use it to learn about people and things we don't always understand. Television is a tool that informs our reality. As such, we want our media to reflect the natural diversity that makes up our existence.

This means that all of our productions have inclusivity baked into them. EMP scripts have been called, "effortlessly inclusive" because instead of trying to tally numbers and set quotas, we've actually made inclusion a priority from the beginning of our show outlining process.

This also means that we run auditions quite differently. Our casting directors are instructed to audition anyone who could logically play a part. This gives members of marginalized communities not only access to roles they might not otherwise get to play, but also gives experience in auditioning that is invaluable to these actors.

Inclusion is a priority in front of the camera in every role from lead to extras, and it doesn't stop there. We also feel strongly about including diverse individuals behind the camera, which is why we have sought out creators that come from diverse backgrounds.

While we recognize that a lot of companies have taken on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives for publicity, positive attention, etc. the founders of Electric Marshmallow Productions see these as hallmarks of our creative process.

Audiences want original
concepts

At Electric Marshmallow Productions we prioritize originality. Few, if any of our concepts, are based on other media. For the projects that are based on something else, we hope that we have created something different, that complements the original media, while providing something new and fresh.

Creating new concepts allows us greater flexibility when it comes to diversity and inclusion. We stand by all of our scripts and believe they create entertaining and engaging worlds without recycling material that has already been created by others.

Many studios in Hollywood are afraid to take chances when it comes to diversity. Electric Marshmallow Productions is not. We stand by our inclusion efforts and don't expect to change.
