Development girl
A development girl or d-girl is a non-influential, entry-level staff member in a film production company.[1] Responsibilities include finding and identifying story ideas worthy of adaptation into a script and writing script coverage for scripts submitted to the production company.[2]
The term is often considered a slur by women in the film and television industries due to its sexist connotations, despite "d-girls" often being men who read through scripts and pass them along the production chain to those in higher positions.[3]
