Re: Stock featuring
Shannon Beveridge
Creating footage that represents all of us.
Re: Stock is an ongoing initiative from Storyblocks, created as a reply to the demand for more diversity in our library. We're hiring filmmakers like Shannon to create new footage collections, exclusive to Storyblocks, that authentically capture those underrepresented in stock.
The @NowThisIsLiving collection
Shannon Beveridge (@NowThisIsLiving) explores the intimate moments of queer relationships and family in her new footage collection, exclusively for Storyblocks.
The Re: Stock Initiative
Re: Stock is a response to the demand for content that more accurately reflects the world today from Storyblocks member comments, tweets, and emails, our own internal conversations, and the growing dialogue about the importance of representation in media.
The stock industry has a pipeline issue. The large-scale stock providers tend to be from European countries with majority white populations, leading their footage to primarily feature that majority.
Re: Stock actively and purposefully widens the pipeline by supporting underrepresented communities in front of and behind the camera. By hiring these filmmakers, the stock footage they create can capture genuine portrayals and experiences of people of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages, religions, abilities and more.
For Re: Stock Queer Spaces and Faces, Storyblocks teamed up with Shannon and five other LGBTQIA+ filmmakers to produce a collection of footage that shows authentic representations of the different communities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella, while also remaining true to the intersectional foundation of the community by exploring themes of race and gender.
