A 2-panel interactive, each with 6 squares made of circles representing 100%, compares the percentage of Latinos in above-the-line roles in US theatrical and episodic series, based on the ethnicity of the director or showrunner, 2013–22. The first panel shows Latino representation in producer, writer, or lead/colead roles doesn’t exceed 4% with a White director or showrunner. The second panel shows Latino representation in these roles doesn’t fall below 26% with a Latino director or showrunner.
Latino representation for producers under a White director was ~2%, writer less than 1%, and lead/colead was ~3%. Under a White showrunner, representation of Latino producers was ~3%, writer was ~1%, and lead/colead ~ 4%.
Latino representation for producers under a Latino director was 26%, writer 78%, and lead/colead 40%. Latino producer representation under a Latino showrunner was 36%, writer 51%, and lead/colead 36%.
Footnote: Above-the-line talent includes main producers (top 3 for film, top 2 for TV), director for film, top 2 showrunners for TV, main writers (top writer for film, top 3 for TV), lead and colead for film, and top 10 actors for TV. These roles typically have higher influence on the creative direction of content.
