Representation of women and people of color in feature films has never been better in Hollywood — if it’s on screen.from UCLA’s social sciences division and the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, authored by Dr. Darnell Hunt and Dr. Ana-Christina Ramón, the film industry’s efforts to diversify leading roles and especially a movie’s main cast have paid off admirably over the past decade.
Drilling down further into the demographics, among directors of color, black filmmakers had the highest percentage of overall feature directors in 2018 and 2019 . Only 4.3% of directors in 2018 and 3.4% in 2019 were Asian, and only 0.7% in 2018 and 2.1% in 2019 were Latinx.

And then there are the executive ranks. According to the study, 91% of studio heads are white and 82% are male. Senior management is similarly monolithic: 93% white and 80% male. And while execs who oversee core studio operations — marketing, casting, legal, etc. — are approaching gender parity, with 59% male, they are still 86% white. Hunt and Ramón note that these figures are “a slight improvement” over figures from the 2015On camera, however, the story is much different.
