Summary
My research explores challenges faced by actors, especially minorities, in the film industry, emphasizing the 2023 SAG AFTRA Labor Union Strike's impact on working conditions. Despite progress, new threats, particularly from AI technology, pose risks to Asian American representation. The literature review underscores the need for improved Asian American visibility, addressing historical stereotypes. The study aims to offer valuable insights into actor challenges, stereotypes' impact, and the role of AI in shaping the film industry's future.
