Variety is shining a spotlight on the below-the-line artists who are rising stars in their fields.
Ava DuVernay was made for this moment. She’s a Black woman with a passion for social justice whose voice is desperately needed at this time. She slips easily from major films to documentaries to TV drama. Her eye for big-screen framing makes a small-screen documentary series like 13th, about racial justice and mass incarceration, more engaging for a wide audience; her knack for storytelling brings the harrowing tale of the Central Park Five to life in a dramatic series like When They See Us. It’s for all of these reasons that Peabody has recognized not only those two works (and Colin in Black and White with a nomination this year), but also DuVernay’s production company, ARRAY, with an Institutional Peabody Award.
