Tarana J. Burke, prominent social justice activist and founder of the #MeToo movement, and her producing partner, Mervyn Marcano, have entered into an overall production deal with CBS Studios to develop scripted and unscripted programming and documentaries for TV networks and streaming services.
CBS Studios said Tuesday that it will partner with Burke and Marcano’s Field/House Productions with a goal of telling the stories of people who have long been underrepresented.
“Creating space for new narratives has always been an integral part of cultural change work,” Burke said in a statement distributed by CBS. “Field/House is a platform for those new narratives. This partnership gives us the reach and scale to ensure that we build new audiences for new voices.”
