For #TheWomanKing's five-month shoot, director #GinaPrinceBythewood prioritized department heads who were women and people of color.⁠ ⁠ "Often the résumés are not long because it's about lack of opportunity, not lack of talent," Prince-Bythewood says. "So when you're in my position, it's important to look past that résumé. There were a couple of people who've never done a film of this size before, but what they brought into that meeting, I knew that they were going to bring something extra."⁠ ⁠ Go inside the making of 'The Woman King' at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ Photographer: Phylicia J.L.
