The Kim Kardashian and Scott Budnick Affair Discuss Crime and Punishment at the Propper Daley Summit

Kim Kardashian, Uzo Aduba, Chrissy Teigen, B.J. Novak, and director/producer Scott Budnick were among the A-list guests who attended the second A Day of Unreasonable Conversation event held by social impact firm Propper Daley on Thursday.

The purpose of A Day of Unreasonable Conversation was to bring together television writers, producers, and executives with cultural changemakers, and the likes of Uzo Aduba, Chrissy Teigen, and B.J. Novak were all there to help make that happen.

A full day of programming was designed to bring together television writers, producers, and executives with cultural changemakers, and it took place at Beverly Hills’ The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. The event was produced in collaboration with culture change agency Invisible Hand, with The Hollywood Reporter as a media partner.

Discussions were held all day long on a wide range of topics, including intellectual humility, mental health, social and economic division, criminal justice, reproductive rights, climate change, responsible technology, and more, with the goal of influencing future screenplays and ensuring narrative authenticity.

Kim Kardashian and Scott Budnick Affair Discuss:

For the How to Get Sh!t Done in a Divided America panel moderated by Baratunde Thurston, Kim Kardashian and Bradley Budnick talked about their years-long fight for prison reform after learning how unfair the system is, especially for people of color.

A successful film producer, Budnick quit the industry for five years to head the charity The Anti-Recidivism Coalition, which is dedicated to ending the state of California’s mass incarceration system.

I lost 90% of my income, resigned from my position of authority, and was unable to cast or recruit anyone, and it was the best five years of my life, said Budnick. Over the course of my five years leading that nonprofit, I came to learn that conveying people’s experiences and humanizing them was central to its mission. This was true of the men, women, and children with whom I’ve worked.

The question “How can you help?” is constantly present, and that’s why I believe telling stories is crucial. Kardashian said, “But what can you do?” I remember someone asking me why I was only working on one case. Take action on the policy. I told them, “If you don’t put a face with this rap sheet, you won’t understand; people just want to feel comfortable in the community.” You can’t trust someone just on what’s written on paper alone; you have to know their background and current situation. Storytelling is crucial for advancing the policy.

Kim Kardashian has stated, “I pretty much have a rule where I’ll take on 10 cases at a time and I can’t really above that.” This allows her to maintain a healthy work-life balance while also pursuing her education and career as an activist. Furthermore, Budnick mentioned that 300 formerly jailed individuals from ARC are now working as union camera personnel, union hair and makeup, and union wardrobe. It’s been a game-changer, especially for his movies like “Just Mercy” which use drama to advocate for changes in the criminal justice system.

When asked by THR about his upcoming film projects, Budnick said that with his co-financing firm One Community, he is seeking tales that can have an influence on people’s lives while also being enjoyable; entertainment first. No one is being given their medicine or their vegetables.

We’re going to immerse you in a major commercial film, TV show, or docuseries with actual Hollywood actors where you won’t know what’s going to happen but you’ll have a good time doing it and learn something along the way. He cited the movies Get Out and Black Panther as sources of motivation, saying, “By the end of it, you’re going to want to make a difference, and we’re going to provide you the way to make the impact.”

Aduba gave a dramatic reading of Jonathan Haidt’s essay “After Babel” during the summit’s morning programming, and writer-director Billy Ray, who is currently collaborating with Adam McKay on a feature film about the January 6 insurrection, participated in a panel titled “Radicalization: How Badly Could This Escalate?”

In the past six years, we’ve come to see that democracy is a choice and not a given, like the laws of nature such as gravity or the daily appearance of the sun. Ray informed the crowd that democracy would flourish if the 330 million Americans in the country decided that it was necessary to do so, and that it should be treated like a plant and given proper care and attention. No, if we don’t do that, we won’t have one.

At a panel discussion titled “Road Trips to Deeper Understanding” that took place in the afternoon, Novak advocated for Hollywood to send individuals back to their hometowns in order to report on events, so that shows like “Entourage” and “shows about people with privilege” don’t sweep the Emmys.

Apocalypse Never: Our Climate Future and BIPOC Solutions was a panel hosted by Zazie Beetz, who spoke with THR afterward about her expectations for climate storytelling in film and television.

If you’re setting a film in 2022, there’s no universe where your story wouldn’t actually contain a climate conversation, she said. “Whether it’s about how people are choosing to eat in your show or choosing to transport themselves or the problems potentially going on in the background. As an example, “if you’re filming a rom-com in New York City, New York City’s going to play a player in the tale, I don’t think it has to be about having climate the focal focus of every story, but about making climate kind of the landscape of a story. Later in the event, Teigen was one of the organisers of a discussion on reproductive rights titled I Made That Choice.

After missing the previous two years due to the pandemic, Propper Daley president Greg Propper held the first “Day of Unreasonable Conversation” in 2019 and stated that the event’s focus this year was on the issue of intellectual humility and the joy of being wrong, and helping all of us build that muscle of curiosity and asking questions.

The group made an effort to have a more nuanced discussion of issues by booking high-profile guests and covering a wide range of topics in their interviews. Propper chimed on, “I think most people want it; it’s just hard to find.” I believe that people do care; the question is whether or not we can coax them away from their desks and productions for long enough to hear it.
