ALT In November last year, a Directors UK poll of its members - television and film directors - found that 62% were without work.  This is grimly similar to the latest survey published by Bectu today with 68% of respondents currently not working.  58% say they have not seen any recovery in their employment since the end of the US strikes.  The Bectu survey also found that 75% of respondents are struggling with their mental health.  There is also a price to be paid in diversity with 50% of black respondents seeing themselves quitting the industry in the next five years as well as 40% of women respondents.     The UK simply cannot afford to haemorrhage more vital production talent and the Government must hold an industry summit to discuss how the UK’s production and commissioning ecosystem needs to be reformed in order to address this unrelenting crisis. Directors are about finding solutions to difficult problems and Directors UK is also determined to find positive solutions
