Madeline used GD-IQ to analyse 2 Irish films, Brooklyn and Room.The software, called the Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient (or GD-IQ), speeds up and automates the painstaking data-collection process that researchers use to study representation, a key initiative in recent years as the entertainment industry has begun to focus on equity onscreen.http://filmireland.net/http://wft.ie/Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M.
