This is Zendaya designed by Law Roach and Jason Rembert, wearing a custom silk Lamé gown for the Malcolm & Marie film streaming now on Netflix.

“It was such a close knit, familial kind of thing because these are my crew members from ‘Euphoria’. We got to create this financial structure where all of them also got points on the film, so when it sold, they made money as well. It’s crazy that more films aren’t made this way. The crew, all the people who literally put their blood, sweat, and tears into making these films, don’t really see this level of compensation and ownership in something they put so much into. They took a risk being there with us and we all felt they should be compensated in such a way. Maybe this can help change the model a little bit in the future. It has been a tough time for so many people and we were able to look out for other people who haven’t been as fortunate as we are. I’m proud of the movie, but especially the way it was made. You often don’t get to say something like that.”  - Zendaya on the felt relief when the effort of ‘Malcolm & Marie’ was validated by last fall’s auction to Netflix, which established the film as very profitable ($30M), and brought ownership checks to all involved, who otherwise would have been hard pressed to pay their bills like so many in the industry. | DEADLINE
