Amy James-Kelly Instagram – We were honoured to attend the @filmtvcharity gala last night at Liverpool Town Hall. Please check out the work that these guys do to provide mental health support to those in our industry, especially during the last few years with the pandemic, strikes and reduction in funding. Not only that, but they offer financial support to prevent skilled professionals from having to leave the industry when times are tough: If we were classed as key workers during the pandemic, then why aren’t we now? The entertainment industry provides not just one of the largest economic contributions to the UK but also a deeply enriching aspect to basically every single person’s life. I urge you to please consider every single person who creates the content you consume the next time you watch a film, a TV show, a concert… The list is endless. Art is not a luxury. It’s a necessity. And we adore our jobs and sharing our work with you.

I’ve watched far too many colleagues leave the industry over the last year or so. Far too many hospitalised with stress. Far too many take their own life.
It shouldn’t cost us this much to improve the quality of life for audiences and for us to go out and use our skills to make a living. | Posted on 19/Nov/2023 14:37:28
