Hollywood knows that diverse films make more money. However, Black filmmakers like Nina Lee still face challenges.
In June 2025, Nina Lee wrapped production on her first feature film, "That's Her." The film follows Chance, a comedian torn between two women.
Despite positive feedback, Lee encountered a problem: studios are hesitant to invest in her project until they see the success of other Black comedies.
