Hi Esai, thanks for doing this AMA. I’ve noticed a huge push in increasing diversity within the industry over the past couple months, so wanted to ask. Do you think these efforts are sustainable? If so, what part within the business will we see these efforts be most impactful? The actors? Production staff? Writers?

Hi Mr. Garland - Cannot thank you enough for taking the time do this, especially for folks like myself looking to break into the biz.

My question is more around your process. I understand everyone has their own strategy in developing a story/screenplay, but what's yours? Do you outline and go into character backgrounds before going into the screenplay? Do you write treatments? If so, how many drafts until you feel it's at a place you're comfortable in beginning to tackle the script?

Thanks again!
