The gathering was organised by Society of O, a platform created to amplify creative voices in the South Asian community and US Product of Culture, a marketing & distribution outlet. It was founded by Sukki Menon and Parvinder Shergill (‘Kaur‘) and at the event, double Oscar nominated US documentary director Geeta Gandbhir called on creatives of colour to join forces and “be strong together”. At Bafta in London, she recounted how US filmmaker icon Spike Lee had given her first opportunity. Hindman also welcomed collective strength and said his film was ‘humbling’ recognition and said “they had been invited to take their pick axes to the glass ceiling” and implied they wouldn’t just drop them there, if the going got tough.
