ICDN Statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Published: September 22, 2020

The International Casting Directors’ Network is conscious of historic inequities in the entertainment industry with regard to race, age, ethnic origin, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual identity, religion or belief, and disability. ICDN is committed to promoting and encouraging diversity in the casting of actors in the interest of equality. 

We recognise that the performing arts reflect the wide range of the human experience, and that an inclusive casting process has the potential to discover and nurture fresh talents, to ensure that film and media reflects the diverse world around us and to cater appropriately to emerging markets of diverse audiences. 

Our Network supports the casting of actors from varying social, economic and cultural backgrounds, to create opportunity, access and equity, and believes that courage and innovation are values that can pay off in commercial products. 

In addition, we acknowledge the lack of diversity within our own ranks, and entreat all of our members to provide opportunities, access, mentorship and employment to people of colour, as well as all other underrepresented groups, in order for our profession to more accurately reflect the rich and vibrant world we live in.

We will continue to learn and take action to improve diversity within the sector, amongst our colleagues and with all professional organisations that we work with. We will start monitoring equality in castings and amongst our members by distributing forms, so that we have a clear set of figures to refer to.
