Will Packer (Black Producer)

I'm so feeling what this guy is challenging, if not outright saying. Need to sit with this more.

Crossing national demographics is only one triumph Whitmore and Packer hope to accomplish with their work. They would also like to be at the forefront of breaking into the international market with a black film.

"The international marketplace is kind of the final frontier for African American products and as we continue to tell a diversity of images, I think those barriers will be broken down," Packer explained.
"It's a little bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy because you need people in those foreign territories to feel like it will work. After you say it won't work, it won't work so many times, then you don't really try as
hard to make it work. I think it will translate here domestically across a wide variety of demographics. And why wouldn't a family in Prague say, 'When my family gets together, it's a little bit of drama, a little bit of laughing, a little bit of crying, too.' It will take time, but if we as African American filmmakers to continue to make films that are telling a diversity of stories, we will see that they will continue to work globally."
