Masterclass
We have a mental health crisis in film and TV production.
Let’s consign production bad practice to history and enable creativity to thrive. By planning for better mental health and culture on productions, you can not only save time and money but improve the performance and output of your team. Content crew = better content.
Join the Film and TV Charity for an introduction to The Whole Picture Toolkit for Mentally Healthy Productions.The Whole Picture Toolkit is a FREE online resource created by the Film and TV Charity and a coalition of industry partners, freelancers and experts.
It gives those working on film and TV productions the practical tips and tools they need to improve working environments, attitudes and the wellbeing of everyone, from writers and script editors, technical crew, production, location teams, through to VFX and post teams.
This is for all Production Guild members, but especially important for anyone with line management responsibilities, from producers to production and location managers, working on anything from multi-million-dollar movies to low budget indie features, continuous drama, comedy and shorts.
