We’re delighted to launch this gorgeous Tee, created to commemorate Mark’s birthday and celebrate nine years of the Foundation’s important work. The Tee is currently available for pre-order. To purchase your Tee click link in bio. 🙏

WHOSE CREATION IS THIS? 👀

Designed by cinematographer Birgit “Bebe” Dierken BSC, the Tee features an array of coloured cameras inspired by the Macbeth colour chart, alongside Bebe’s signature.

The Tee also has a unique feature - a QR code printed on the outside at the nape of the neck. When scanned, it leads to a photograph of Mark and one of six powerful real-life quotes from people working within the film and TV industry, highlighting the importance of health and safety. Each Tee carries a different message - see if you can discover them all by scanning other Tees. Become part of the conversation and send your stories to us at contact@markmilsomefoundation.com

MORE THAN MERCH

This Tee is more than merchandise and a way of raising money for the Foundation. It represents a strong commitment to creating a safer, more inclusive film and TV industry.

Over the past nine years, the Foundation has continued to grow from strength to strength. We are encouraged by the increased uptake of our ScreenSkills accredited PSA1 Health & Safety course and the industry-wide support, and we remain committed to driving meaningful, lasting change through advocacy, education and awareness.

SAFETY IS PART OF THE CRAFT 

Every Tee purchased helps support the Foundation’s ongoing work and keeps the conversation around safety, accountability and wellbeing alive within our industry.

Where community drives impact. Be The Culture of Change.

It’s time to take rest and turnaround seriously. 

Too often, crew are expected to work excessively long hours and broken turnaround is becoming normalised across the industry. This cannot continue.

Bectu’s ongoing Broken Turnaround campaign has been shining a spotlight on this issue and, alongside its French partner unions, has exposed the reality of long working hours and broken turnaround at the Cannes Film Festival 🙌

In a joint statement timed to coincide with the festival, the unions argue that production companies have “normalised long working days” and that this culture of long hours has “serious consequences for workers’ health, safety, and overall wellbeing”. 

Things have to change - the health and safety of all crew is at stake!

Image above is from our ScreenSkills certified PSA1 Online Safety Passport course. We’ve dedicated a whole chapter to working hours. To find out more about our course click link in bio. 🙏
