Of the 864 survey responses we analysed, 72% said the screen industry is not a mentally healthy place to work, 36% frequently considered quitting in the past six months, and 25% said they would likely quit within the next six months.
Even more alarming, 59% struggled with work-life balance, having ‘little to no life outside of work’, and 62% felt pressured to not claim basic entitlements such as sick leave or holiday pay.
