Hollywood's Age Gap: Why Young Voices Matter in Film Los Angeles, CA – May 31, 2025 – A recent TikTok video by Nicky Reardon (@nickyreardon) highlights a growing concern within the entertainment industry: the lack of young voices in filmmaking. Reardon points to a study showing the average age of live-action film directors between 2000 and 2019 was 47.5 years old, suggesting a disconnect between the creative team and the younger target audience. "Young people want more stories made BY young people FOR young people!" Reardon states in the video. He argues that the experiences and perspectives of younger generations are not adequately represented in current Hollywood productions. This lack of representation, he suggests, is directly tied to the age of those in positions of power. Reardon supports his claim by citing the increasing popularity of YouTube among young viewers, surpassing even Netflix. He uses examples of successful young creators like Quinta Brunson and Issa Rae to illustrate how younger voices are finding success outside of the traditional Hollywood system. He also mentions a recent Cannes Film Festival screening of a short film by Reece Feldman, showcasing the talent of young filmmakers. The video concludes with an optimistic outlook, suggesting that Hollywood will eventually need to adapt to this changing landscape and embrace the perspectives of younger generations to remain relevant and successful. This shift, Reardon believes, is essential for creating more authentic and engaging content that resonates with young audiences.
