Please do watch and share this powerful new video from @FilmTVCharity

I'm really pleased to be part of a great looking programme from @NewWritingNorth and @nescreen_ with @FilmTVCharity colleague Lucy Powell and other excellent panelists to discuss screenwriting, mental health and our new Looking Glass research. Newcastle, 31 Jan–2 Feb 25.

Long working hours, financial worries, bullying and harassment: sound familiar? Have your say about the issues in our industry impacting your mental health by taking part in the @FilmTVCharity’s 2024 Looking Glass mental health survey: bit.ly/4cdRJ4C

Stark findings about the huge financial challenges facing people in the new Money Matters report from @FilmTVCharity. Particularly worrying re debt, savings, those in film, disabled colleagues, freelancers and those caring for adult dependents. Much to be done at a systemic level

Watch our Winter Appeal video -bit.ly/47SejwW 2023 has unleashed a wave of challenges for people across the industry - We need your donations to help them through this tough winter. A huge thanks to @LennyHenry @josierones Steven Moffat & Maxine Peake for supporting!

Great to be able to support the launch of such important work by @anna_bull_ of @screen_network with @heatherfallonn @deebasyed Jen Smith of CIISA ⁦@philippachilds⁩ of @bectu & our own ⁦@LucyParmaTallon ⁦@FilmTVCharity⁩ Congrats, Anna!

Please help us support industry colleagues by taking and sharing our new financial survey. We were able to use out last financial survey to raise over £250k, all of which went to colleagues in greatest need. It makes such a difference.

Following the death of Sir Horace Ové, we are opening our doors for the Black film & TV community and allies to gather to celebrate and remember a true giant of Black British filmmaking. 🕔WHEN: 5-8pm, Tues 26th Sept 📍WHERE: 22 Golden Square, W1F 9JW

@LyndseyStonebri There are so many better films to see (fairly easily) atm. Blue Jean, Close, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (which I think you praised).

We’ve just released the @filmtvcharity Looking Glass ‘22 Report, showing progress is starting to be felt in our industry when it comes to tackling poor mental health. Read their report in full – bit.ly/3XEFplA #WeAreFilmandTV and please feel free to share

@LyndseyStonebri Under the circs, any lightness is probably a blessing. (Maybe an intentional gift?). Grab it. Thinking of you.

The Film and TV Charity needs your help to make a difference this winter! We’re open 24/7 throughout Christmas for our industry to talk about anything that’s troubling them and connect them to financial and mental wellbeing support. lnkd.in/e4aYQ546

@LyndseyStonebri “…about the young idea….”

@LyndseyStonebri London’s greatest strength is its wonderful ability to absorb, I think.

@LyndseyStonebri This one feels bittersweet and plaintive. Am remembering a first phone call back home, when I I unconvincingly held it together and then ran out of the phone box in floods of tears. But these days they come back, I believe. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

@JaneyGodley Oh, my dear… A big hug from about of the blue. And by the look of it times many thousands. Rx

The constant fear of waking up in anxiety, the horrible knowledge that cancer will be a part of my life until I die now is overwhelming, I accept I must be brave but is bravery simply being alive and pushing down all the fears to get through the next hour? I’m scared

Want to make the industry better? Know your stuff and have a taste for thinking and research? Interested in a #PhDScholarship at @UofGlasgow with @FilmTVCharity with @DEikhof @SimmsMelanie and me? Deadline 30 May.

@Chowns @Directors_UK Please do! @Directors_UK have consistently produced some of the most agenda-setting work in the field and it’s of great use to us in our work.

This looks like a very promising and useful study. Make sure you consult @Directors_UK who have done pioneering work on the composition of the freelance director workforce.
