Goal of the Study

The Black Screen Office’s (BSO’s) vision is to provide Directives to everyone in the film, television and interactive digital media industries to help them commission, create and assess authentic content. The Directives, which come from the community of underrepresented members of the industry and general public who were consulted as part of the research, are a tool meant for the industry to use to educate themselves, develop strategies for change, and enact real, systemic and long-lasting transformation.

How To Use Being Seen

Please download the Core Themes Report and each of the community reports on Black, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+ and People with Disabilities and the Children’s Media Report. Below each report are standalone Directives which can be downloaded for easy circulation within your networks. Below the reports are video interviews with creators who share their experiences with creating authentic content. Stay tuned as additional resources will be added.
