Our research and findings

Our research helps us understand the challenges being faced by people working in film, TV, and cinema and by the organisations they work for. It also helps us and others to develop evidence-led practical interventions to improve the industry. We work with organisations and individuals from across the industry and benefit from their input and insights at every stage of our work. 

The themes of our research work mirror the Charity’s focus on the mental, financial, and social wellbeing of people working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema. We are also keen to understand the composition of the industry workforce, filling in gaps in current understanding where possible, so that we and others can understand who our beneficiaries are and what their needs may be. 

Some of our work is based on analysing the results of the surveys we publish, and some is based on our examination of existing evidence. Occasionally it can take the form of provocative position pieces or in-depth qualitative interviews with stakeholders from across the industry workforce.
