In the fast-paced world of film, TV, and cinema, mental health often takes a back seat.
And since we conducted the first Looking Glass Survey in 2019, we know you’ve had to face unprecedented challenges, from long hours to the intense pressure caused by the cost-of-living crisis and the production downturn.
Help us understand these challenges better and support our work to create a healthier working environment for everyone across the industry.

"83% of respondents felt that behaviours that would be considered toxic and inappropriate in public life are often tolerated in the creative sector."
Disturbing research from @bectu. Everyone should be able to feel safe at work - this is unacceptable.

My piece in today’s @thetimes about Iranian rapper @OfficialToomaj who refused to stop criticising the Islamic regime even after torture. What a hero.
Iran’s hip-hop hero refused to be silenced. Now he’s been sentenced to death thetimes.co.uk/article/irans…
