YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch Full Interview
--------
Michael Jai White highlighted that he disagrees with the belief that Black actors do not sell overseas, stating that it isn't about race but the type of movies being produced. Action films and some horror films are more likely to generate revenue globally, while movies outside of these genres, regardless of the lead actor's race, may not be as successful. He champions action movies like those of Jackie Chan or Jet Li and believes they sell because they offer content that may be less available in other countries. White also stated that LGBT content does well, notably in India. He proposes a shift towards producing content with a worldwide perspective, insisting that there is a large fan base that needs to be catered to.
