The New Zealand Screen Industry has long been celebrated for its creativity, resilience, and the high-quality work of its practitioners. Kiwi filmmakers have earned a reputation for excellence. However, the strength of this industry relies not just on the artistic output but also on the well-being of those behind the scenes. This is why the 6th annual New Zealand Screen Industry ‘Health Check’ survey, we believe is crucial.
This survey is an essential tool for understanding the current state of the industry. By gathering data directly from those working within the field, the survey provides invaluable insights into the challenges and successes experienced by the people who work in it. This year’s survey is no different to the last 5 and aims to delve deeper into the well-being, working conditions, and overall satisfaction of industry professionals.
One of the primary goals of the Health Check survey is to identify areas where working conditions can be improved. We often work long hours under high-pressure conditions, which can lead to burnout and other health issues. By participating in the survey, members can voice their concerns and share their experiences, enabling industry leaders to implement changes that promote a healthier, more sustainable working environment.
The long-term sustainability of the NZ film industry depends on the well-being of its workforce. By taking the Health Check survey, you are helping to lay the groundwork for a more sustainable future. The insights gained from the survey will guide industry leaders in making informed decisions that benefit not only the current workforce but also future generations of filmmakers.
We ask questions about the funding bodies, film schools, guilds, health & safety and wellbeing.
Your input matters—take the survey and be a part of building a stronger, healthier future for all and if you leave your contact, you’ll go into the draw to win a nice meal somewhere good.
