The ReFrame Stamp is being Awarded to 12 Films from 2017 including
Everything, Everything; Girls Trip; Lady Bird; The Post; and
Wonder Woman

Los Angeles, CA —
ReFrame™, a coalition of industry professionals and partner companies founded by Women In Film and Sundance Institute
whose mission is to increase the number of women of all backgrounds working in film, TV and media, and
IMDbPro (
http://www.imdbpro.com/), the leading information resource for the entertainment industry, today announced a new collaboration
that leverages the authoritative data and professional resources of IMDbPro to recognize standout, gender-balanced film
and TV projects. ReFrame is using IMDbPro data to determine recipients of a new
ReFrame Stamp, and IMDbPro is providing digital promotion of ReFrame activities (
imdb.com/reframe). Also announced today was the first class of ReFrame Stamp feature film recipients based on an extensive
analysis of IMDbPro data on the top 100 domestic-grossing films of 2017. The recipients include Warner Bros.’
Everything, Everything, Universal’s
Girls Trip, A24’s
Lady Bird, Twentieth Century Fox’s
The Post and Warner Bros.’
Wonder Woman.

The ReFrame Stamp serves as a mark of distinction for projects that have demonstrated success in gender-balanced film and
TV productions based on criteria developed by ReFrame in consultation with ReFrame Ambassadors (complete list below), producers
and other industry experts. Stamps are awarded to narrative features and television programs that hire female-identifying
people in four out of eight critical areas of their production, including: writer, director, producer, lead, co-lead, speaking
parts, department heads and crew. Additional points are awarded to content that has women of color in key positions. The
criteria (available at
ReFrameProject.org) is iterative and will change over time as the industry evolves. Later this year, ReFrame will announce
TV show stamp recipients from 2017. Additionally, 2017 and 2018 films and TV shows outside of the top 100 can apply for
the stamp starting June 15 via the website,
ReFrameProject.org. ReFrame and IMDbPro will celebrate stamped content at major festivals and entertainment events,
including the Women In Film Crystal + Lucy Awards on June 13.

Cathy Schulman, President, Welle Entertainment and ReFrame Co-Founder, said, “Through this collaboration
we are committed to cultivating a more inclusive media landscape that illuminates the cultural and economic benefits of
diversity in storytelling. We’re grateful to IMDbPro for enabling us to utilize their data expertise to better and more
thoroughly highlight industry-leading projects that reflect diversity in the real world. While 2017 saw an uptick in films
directed by women, throughout the past decade, the growth curve of female directors in the top 100 list has been flat,
with women accounting for just 4.3 percent of the total from 2007 to 2016. It is our hope that the Stamp will continue
to expand opportunities for women in all positions, in front of and behind the camera, throughout the screen industries
each year.”

“The ReFrame Ambassadors and Partner companies, together with Women In Film and Sundance Institute, are leaders in
charting a path towards progress on the issues of inclusivity and gender equity in entertainment, and we are proud to collaborate
with ReFrame to provide them with our data and professional resources to award their stamp and support this vision,”
said
Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “We congratulate this first group of ReFrame Stamp recipients on their commitment
to inclusive storytelling and success in reaching audiences and look forward to continuing to work with ReFrame to celebrate
other productions that meet the criteria.”

GD-IQ provided screen time analysis of gender and racial representation on-screen as one measure for the ReFrame Stamp. The
Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient (GD-IQ) launched in September 2016 by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in partnership
with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Google.

The ReFrame Stamp was designed by brand experience agency Troika who provided services for the launch of ReFrame, which included
positioning, name and logo development, and creative expression.
