Partners in Kind is committed to ensuring that representation in Hollywood, behind the scenes and on screens, increases and achieves true equity in every sense. Women’s voices, women’s stories, and women’s perspectives should be championed and elevated. It’s shameful that, overall, women account for only 22% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on the 250 top-grossing films. This represents a decline of 2 percentage points from 24% in 2022. Taking the long view, it represents an increase of just 5 percentage points since 1998.

While the #MeToo movement helped increase awareness of gender inequality in Hollywood, the number of women working in the sector is rising very slowly - and this is discouraging.

To that end and with great hope that we can contribute to change, Partners in Kind is honored to have Jay Rosenzweig on our Board of Advisors along with many other incredible individuals who are committed to our vision to work together – armed with data – to challenge the industry norms and create standards that we can all be proud of.
