- Akuarel launches soon, and has been in development by April Reign since 2016.
- Looking for talent (so go apply, ONTDers of Color) and stakeholders.
- Studios and Industry Pros must pay a fee to access the site (Which means they probably won't).
- The article mentions the continual fuckery of the live action Aladdin movie browning up extras.

I hope this takes off.
