The ReFrame Stamp


The ReFrame Stamp for Gender-Balanced Production is an award given to corporations and media that show progress toward female-driven content in the media industry. Based on defined criteria from ReFrame ambassadors, producers, and industry experts, the Stamp certification is awarded to films and TV shows that demonstrate progression toward more gender equality and greater representation of women in key roles.

History

On June 8, 2018, the ReFrame Stamp program was launched to promote and recognize gender-balanced productions in film and television based on data from IMDbPro on how many women are involved in a production in front of and behind the camera. On September 26th, the Stamp program expanded to include submissions for TV shows and movies from cable and streaming platforms.

Submission process

To qualify, films must be distributed either theatrically or via streaming, while TV shows are counted in relation to the calendar for the Emmy Awards.

Criteria

Based on a points system, narrative films and animated films and TV programs must achieve four points within the eight defined qualifying categories with at least two points in the categories of female director, writer, and lead. Double points are awarded for women of color in important positions. Screen time analysis is done with the Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient, while points are calculated by an algorithm and given to the films or TV programs that meet the requirements. After the stamp is awarded, a logo is added to the end credits. The criteria is subject to change accordingly with the evolving industry.
