Having already bestowed its stamp of approval to 34 films, ReFrame is now setting its sights on the television landscape. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ReFrame is asking for TV submissions for consideration of its gender parity stamp. Introduced earlier this year, the stamp denotes that a given project was made with a gender-balanced team on both sides of the camera.
In order to qualify for the ReFrame Stamp, a film or series must hire women for at least four of the following roles: writer, producer, lead, co-lead, speaking parts, department heads, and crew. At least two points must be earned from the director, writer, and female lead categories. Using data from IMDbPro, ReFrame, an industry coalition sponsored in part by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film, examines the prevalence of women in on-screen and off-screen roles. Additional points are awarded when women of color are hired.
A show — any series, limited series, or TV movie airing on any medium, including streaming platforms — must have aired between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018 in order to be eligible for the stamp. ReFrame is accepting submissions via its website through October 10.
Projects with the ReFrame Stamp will be listed on ReFrame’s website and IMDbPro.
“Crazy Rich Asians,” “A Simple Favor,” “Girls Trip,” “Wonder Woman,” and “Lady Bird,” are among the films that have received the ReFrame Stamp.
