Paramount recently released the new results of its study &#8220;Reflecting Me&#8221;, which showcases audience perceptions of the state of on-screen representation and diversity. The study shows that women feel it&#8217;s important to see accurate, reflective representations of themselves on-screen, and the media industry is seen as a strong opportunity to commit to making a change and improving representation both on- and off-screen. Featuring a collection of shorts created by female filmmakers, IN BLOOM contributes on increasing women representation on- and off-screen, challenging the way audiences and society perceive gender inequality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MTV Staying Alive Foundation, Paramount Global, and the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, announced today the upcoming release of IN BLOOM.
