ReFrame Stamps 22 More Films With Gender-Balance Seal Of Approval; Crazy Rich Asians, The Wife On List
Warner Bros
ReFrame, the coalition formed by Women in Film and the Sundance Institute, and IMDbPro have added 22 more titles to the list of movies earning the ReFrame Stamp, which recognize standout, gender-balanced films. The program launched June 8 with 12 films on the list from a group comprising the top 100 domestic-grossing films of 2017, with Warner Bros Wonder Woman, Universals Girls Trip, A24s Lady Bird and Foxs The Post among them.
The stamp progam has since been expanded to studio and independent films that have U.S. domestic theatrical or streaming distribution. Newcomers unveiled today include Warners recent hit Crazy Rich Asians, IFCs Mary Shelley and SPCs Glenn Close starrer The Wife among 2018 releases, and Olivia Wildes Booksmart and Justin Baldonis Five Feet Apart among 2019 pics. (See the full list of new films below.)
The stamp is intended as a mark of distinction for projects that have demonstrated success in gender-balanced film and TV productions that hire female-identifying people in four out of eight critical areas of production: writer, director, producer, lead, co-lead, speaking parts, department heads, and crew. Additional points are awarded to content that features women of color in key positions.
