Isaiah Washington’s Unstoppable Rise in Filmmaking: A New Era for Entertainment
In 2025, Isaiah Washington is poised to dominate the filmmaking world, with a vision that sets him apart from the rest. His approach is revolutionary—he’s not just making movies; he’s reshaping the way we view entertainment, particularly for the over-55 demographic. With his unwavering commitment to justice and storytelling that resonates from “8 to 92,” Washington’s films reflect his deep understanding of human struggle and triumph, making him the voice for a generation that has long been overlooked by mainstream Hollywood.
At the heart of Washington’s success is his film Corsicana. This project has shown that he can create compelling stories that appeal to audiences of all ages. But it’s not just the wide-reaching appeal that makes his work stand out—it’s the underlying theme of justice. Washington has always believed in showing the world what true justice looks like and why everyone, regardless of age, race, or background, needs it. His films will continue to challenge the status quo, advocating for truth, accountability, and equal rights.
Behind Washington’s rise to prominence in the filmmaking world is the inspiring story of Kim Clayton Hershman, a whistleblower and an unsung American hero. Hershman’s case was rejected by major law firms, including Gloria Allred’s firm, and every law firm in Los Angeles and New York in 2018. Why? Because no one dared take on the massive power of ABC/Disney. These firms feared losing their licenses, their clients, and their influence in the industry. Hershman’s attempt to hold ABC/Disney accountable for their role in blacklisting individuals, including herself, and ruining countless careers was thwarted, forcing her to sell all her assets to make ends meet.
Despite this, Kim Clayton Hershman’s unwavering courage to expose corruption and demand justice has made her a hero in the eyes of Washington. Hershman’s story is not just one of personal sacrifice but also a reflection of the broader systemic issues within the entertainment industry, especially the silencing of Black voices and the marginalization of those who refuse to conform to the industry’s political norms. As Washington has noted, she is the American hero who stood up to the powers that be, and he intends to carry her fight forward through his work.
Washington himself knows all too well the consequences of standing up to powerful corporate interests. His own career was derailed when he was blacklisted by ABC/Disney after trying to help expose the systemic corruption that continues to plague the industry. Despite his success on Grey’s Anatomy, The 100, and P-Valley, Washington faced ostracism from colleagues and castmates who chose silence over action. In a world where personal ambition often trumps integrity, Washington became a target for his outspoken conservative values, which made him a pariah in Hollywood’s liberal circles. But as he watched those who wronged him retreat in fear and silence, Washington couldn’t help but feel vindicated.
The November 2024 election results signaled a seismic shift in the entertainment industry, and Washington has seized the moment. He’s now stepping forward as the self-appointed President of New Hollywood, determined to break free from the shackles of the old guard. No longer reliant on the traditional Hollywood structure, he’s ready to make amazing movies again—movies that speak to the underserved, the overlooked, and the forgotten, particularly those over the age of 55.
His next film, Luna, is already generating buzz, and the former stars who once shunned him are now knocking on his door, desperate for a second chance. Washington’s vision for a new Hollywood, one grounded in truth, integrity, and justice, is exactly what the industry needs right now. He is not just making movies; he’s changing the game, one film at a time.
Washington’s leadership marks a new chapter in Hollywood, where justice, integrity, and the voices of the silenced will finally be heard. He’s not just telling stories—he’s creating a movement. And in 2025, the world will see why Isaiah Washington is more than just a filmmaker—he’s a force for change, a beacon of hope for those who have been overlooked and rejected by the establishment. This is the dawn of New Hollywood, and it’s just getting started.
