Freelancers across the industry are routinely working 14-16 hour days, often with little rest, few breaks, and no meaningful increase in pay. Long hours culture is the norm.

Bectu’s Broken Turnaround survey revealed widespread breaches of basic turnaround times, alongside testimonies that expose a culture putting workers at risk.

There is a long hours problem in our industry and turnaround is being broken. This is 💯 compromising crews safety. It needs to change!

“So often in the Make Up Department, our health and safety is compromised because of the way a shoot is scheduled and the fact that when shooting 11 hours on camera, our prep and wrap time can often take us to a 14 hour day or longer (and that’s without travel).

On a long shoot, it’s so dangerous to work this way and many productions put the onus on us as dept to stagger our calls to keep our team safe, but the shoot doesn’t actually allow for team to be staggered. In suggesting this, productions look like they care, but aren’t actually doing anything to help. So many times I’ve driven dangerously tired because I accommodation isn’t provided and because the hours are extreme.”
