FORM 990,PART III, LINE 4,CONTINUEDEducation & Distribution (Continued):The Representation Project has also set for itself the goal of inspiring youth to be agents of change in their communities thru our Be A Rep Program and the establishment of our Youth Advisory Council. In 2016, the organization hosted approximately 130 semi-theatrical screenings and facilitated over 650 educational screenings for the film The Mask You Live In in 20 countries and all 50 states. The organization also hosted approximately 50 semi-theatrical screenings and facilitated over 50 educational screenings of the film Miss Representation.Social Action Campaigns (Continued): The Representation Project creates and disseminates its messages through education and online communications, mainstream publications, media appearances, speaking engagements, viral videos, and social media campaigns. The organization activates people to pledge to use their voices to spread the messages of the films and challenge the medias limiting portrayal of gender. Campaigns provide people with the tools to use their voice and consumer power to challenge and dramatically change the way gender roles are portrayed in advertising, media, and mainstream culture. For example, our #AskHerMore campaign inspires consumers to call out sexist reporting and suggest ways to refocus on womens achievements. In 2016, #AskHerMore conquered the red carpet, transforming the questions asking and even getting discussed in the Oscars opening monologue. The Representation Project then took the campaign to sports and politics, successfully inspiring journalists to change their language when it comes to covering prominent women in sexist way. To advance the conversation around healthy masculinity, we took to the streets for Super Bowl 50 with the #BeAModelMan campaign, projecting healthy masculinity messages on buildings throughout the city. We spoke with our San Francisco neighbors, NFL executives, owners, and coaches about creating a culture where positive role models can thrive on and off the football field. To ensure the campaign went beyond our local community, we created a short video about #BeAModelMan, which garnered more than 100,000 views.FILM:The third film, tentatively titled The Great American Lie/Dream, explores the social, political, legal, and economic ramifications of a cultural value system built on extreme masculine ideals of power, dominance, and aggression at the expense of empathy, care, and collaboration.
