Two new reports show few gains for women, not only as movie directors, but also as writers, editors, cinematographers and composers.
“Five years after #MeToo exploded and two years following the murder of George Floyd, there has been little change in Hollywood for women and underrepresented directors — particularly women of color,” Stacy L. Smith, the founder of the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, said in a statement.
In addition to USC’s report, the San Diego State Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film released its annual “Celluloid Ceiling” study, which looks at many jobs behind the camera. The findings were equally grim: 93% of the top 250 films last year had no female cinematographers, 91% lacked a female composer, 75% didn’t have a female editor, and 70% had no women as writers. There were no material short-term gains in any of those jobs.

When women direct a film, the percentage of female writers is four times greater than when a man directs, and the percentage of female cinematographers is five times higher.
“Given the number of panels, research reports and hand-wringing devoted to this issue over the last two and a half decades, one would expect more substantial gains,” Martha Lauzen, the founder of the San Diego State Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, said in a statement. “We get distracted by the incremental movement of the numbers from year to year, but often fail to notice the lack of substantial gains over the long term,” she said.John Horn, entertainment reporter and host of our weekly podcast Retake, explores whether the stories that Hollywood tells about itself really reflect what's going on?
