37% Of Professionals Are Leaving The Industry
A BECTU survey found that 37% of film and TV professionals plan to leave the industry in the next five years.* Productions feel the impact—high turnover, stretched teams, lost experience. But while the industry measures the outcome, are we measuring what leads up to it?
Retention is usually discussed in broad terms—long hours, pay, job security. But when we look at what actually plays out on productions, the reasons people leave aren’t always that simple.
