Drawing on insights from over 2,000 people working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema, the Film and TV Charity’s latest Money Matters 2 report unfortunately reveals a workforce under mounting financial pressure. Key findings include:
– 46% of freelancers are struggling financially (compared with 27% of permanent staff)
– 74% are considering leaving the industry due to money worries
– 43% have already taken steps to leave – up from 32% in 2023
The results point to a sector losing stability, resilience, and confidence. However The Charity’s message is clear: short‑term fixes won’t be enough. Securing the long‑term health of the screen industries requires meaningful, coordinated, industry‑wide action.
That’s why we are proud to be supporting the Film and TV Charity at this Saturday’s ‘Northern TV and Film Gala’ at Liverpool Town Hall, raising funds for and awareness of the charity’s integral work supporting all aspects of our industry’s crew.
