Paramount Pictures had the worst track record, distributing only three movies from 2007 to 2019 that were directed by women, according to the study. By comparison, Universal had 15 female directors over the same period, including “Queen & Slim” and “Abominable” released last year. In this year’s study, the Annenberg group focused on how women, particularly women of color, were represented behind the camera. Across the 1,300 films from 2007 to 2019, only 4.8% of directors were women. AdvertisementThe survey also highlights the dim prospects for recognition of female directors at the Oscars.
