Inaugural DGA Diversity Report: Women Make Up Only 6.4% of Film Directors

Women and Hollywood: The DGA's inaugural Feature Film Diversity Report confirms what we already knew: the employment numbers for women directors are deplorably low.

The DGA crunched the numbers for the 376 features released in 2013 and 2014 -- excluding foreign films, documentaries, animated films and re-releases -- and found that women helmed just 6.4% of those works. A further breakdown reveals that that 6.4% total is made up of 5.1% white women filmmakers and 1.3% women filmmakers of color.
