Wow. 80% of the industry suffer from some form of mental illness compared with a 60% national average. Change needs to happen to combat this. Thanks to @the_tv_mindset for bringing up this important matter. #freelancerdebate

There is a discussion going on around the positives and negatives of freelance work and how it can be improved once productions begin again.

Head of @NewPicturesLtd Christine Healy is discussing how we can adapt the ways we work in high-end TV and how we must highlight the support for freelancers: “This is one of the moments in the history of the industry that we will one day talk about.” #freelancerdebate
