Center for Scholars & Storytellers shows systemic discrimination and limited access to opportunities exist against first-time directors, with only 23.4% working on major feature films in the last 12 years.
“The mission of the Lionsgate Inclusive Content team is to help the Motion Picture Group release a more diverse and inclusive film slate, because the data shows that more inclusive content is more commercial content,” said Kamala Avila-Salmon, head of inclusive content at Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
Key findings also demonstrate how the biggest barrier to first-time directors being offered their first major feature is the assumption that they are a riskier business than experienced directors. However, the study finds that first-time directors are no riskier than experienced directors.
