    Why Gender Inequality Still Exists in Hollywood

    March 28, 2018 /

    While everyone pretends to care, very little has changed. Of the top 250 grossing films of 2017, women comprised 18% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors and cinematographers.

    In the morning of January 25, 2014, a mysterious poster starts flooding every corner of the Internet and social media. On it, a man wearing a dark suit and exhibiting a body shape distinguishable just enough so that we can tell he's really, really good looking confidently stares out an immense window overseeing Seattle. It's clean, colorless, yet intriguing and attractive. Above him, a catchline that's about to arouse millions of women around the globe: "Mr. Grey will see you now."

A freshly disclosed, shocking revelation that has rapidly spiraled into a huge bombshell for the entire entertainment industry.
