IndieWireStory by Kate Erbland
scrn logline
Dire new report finds Hollywood's director's chair still lacks diversity, despite industry promises of change.
beat sheet
- According to the latest USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative report, women and directors of color continue to be shut out of top directing gigs, making up just 22% of 2024's top 100 films.
- Insiders say the glacial pace of progress is due to deep-rooted biases and a 'good ol' boys' network that keeps the directing elite firmly in place, despite growing public scrutiny.
