The gender disparity-focused study examined 10,700 credits on more than 970 indie films between 2018 and 2019, compared to the 80,000 credits on almost 8,000 indie films over a decade from 2008 to 2019.The Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film
, found that there was a record number of female directors over the last year . It also showed that there were 6% more female writers, 6% more executive producers and 2% more editors. Although the increases aren’t exactly staggering, this is promising news. “After many years of tracking stubbornly stagnant numbers, this year women achieved healthy gains in a number of key behind-the-scenes roles,” said Lauzen.
However, the bad news is that women are still outnumbered in indie films by two to one. This is despite the report also confirming that female directors often have a powerful ripple effect in addressing disparity. It specifically showed that on films with at least one female director, 45% of its editors were female, compared to 21% of films directed by men. And on films with at least one female director, women comprised 72% of writers compared to 11% on films directed exclusively by men.The indie film industry is clearly proving how great female-led films often are, but there’s still some way to go to balance out the numbers.
