  abstract  = {We examine differences in portrayal of characters in movies using
	psycholinguistic and graph theoretic measures computed directly from
	screenplays. Differences are examined with respect to characters' gender, race,
	age and other metadata. Psycholinguistic metrics are extrapolated to dialogues
	in movies using a linear regression model built on a set of manually annotated
	seed words. Interesting patterns are revealed about relationships between
	genders of production team and the gender ratio of characters. Several
	correlations are noted between gender, race, age of characters and the
	linguistic metrics.},
