Key Takeaways:

• Regina Hall, an actress, is concerned that people would take these advancements for granted as Hollywood embraces a wave of diversity through storytelling.
• Hall appears in the film alongside Zoe Renee and Amber Grey, which blurs the lines between horror, systematic racism, and injustice.

Actress Regina Hall is concerned about people taking these developments for granted as Hollywood welcomes a wave of inclusivity through storytelling, celebrity casts, and other facets of filmmaking.

"[When it comes to representation and attitude reform], there has been a shift. But, you know, sometimes, since people believe that change occurs spontaneously, they say, 'Oh, we're done,' and stop working toward the goal. 

However, I believe there will always be an opportunity for development and inclusivity, and it must be a continuous process," adds the actor, who rose to popularity with films such as Scary Movie 4 (2006), Grandfathered, Vacation, Girl Trip (2017), and Support the Girls (2018).

"Look at what Mariama Diallo (writer-director) did with her debut feature picture, Master," she says, citing a recent outing. I liked how she told the narrative with three ladies and touched on issues of racism, gender, and their impact on academia as a backdrop. Having a video like that is proof of progress."

Hall co-stars with Zoe Renee and Amber Grey in the picture, which blurs the lines between horror, institutionalized racism, and injustice. It created its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year, and it is now available on a streaming site.

Hall notes that there are so many dimensions of racism that have yet to be addressed, making it even more crucial that themes like "openness and inclusivity" are constantly a "work in progress."

"There are so many ways to examine the story," she continues. If we take it outside of race, we can investigate what it's like to be an outsider or be different and often treated harshly because of that uniqueness. And establishing what we consider to be critical to success. 

Also, (the question is) how much racism do we accept as normal? And, with a lack of variety, how have we normalized this type of attitude and behavior in specific institutions? "I truly enjoy delving into these concepts."
