Black Screen Office

Published purpose

Through this 31-month systemic change project, the Black Screen Office will help advance Black women's representation in leadership and decision-making roles in the screen industry. Specifically, the project will address the systemic racism and sexism they face when trying to advance in the screen industry. To do this, the Black Screen Office will provide anti-racism training to employers, leaders, and institutions in the industry to educate them on the discriminatory impacts of current policies and practices. The organization will conduct focus groups with women and collaborate with employers to develop and implement an anti-Black racism framework and accountability system to conduct policy transformation in the industry. A mentorship program will also be offered to support women’s skills development and advancement. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project
