There are a number of issues combining to limit the hiring and advancement of Latinx writers in Hollywood.
, Latinx people have “never constituted more than 5% of employed WGA film writers,” based on available data.
In a writer’s room, there are three levels of writers: lower level; midlevel writers with a few years under their belt; and the most experienced, the upper levels. Showrunners are the big bosses on a show — sometimes they are wonderful, generous people, and sometimes they are demons forged in the deep, fiery waters of the devil’s jacuzzi.
There are showrunners who will work the budget to ensure lower-level writers can advance, but there are many factors involved in that decision, mostly budgetary and, if we’re being honest, moral. They have to care. Ultimately, it’s at their discretion how much they care to help writers advance, but they also have to fight studio pressures to remain on budget when making the choice.” the practice of hiring small groups of writers, and short orders of series .
Those who are most likely to hire us, essentially, aren’t given the opportunity to be in a position to do so. Many executives lean on algorithmic data to determine a show’s possible success, and therefore who and what to invest in. On one occasion, Piña was asked whether a show she pitched revolving around Cubans could be switched to Mexicans simply because Mexico is bigger, and a bigger country means more people and therefore more people willing to watch a show about Mexicans.
