Only 1 Latina, 3 Asian and 4 Black female directors worked on the top-grossing 1,100 films since 2017.
Films with a female director or writer have over 60% more major female characters, while 81% of films with a director of color also have an actor of color attached as one of the two top-billed talent.
Providing opportunities to female filmmakers and filmmakers of color creates ripple effects and increases the diversity in the industry.
