Often held up as beacon of international excellence & competitiveness, the UK's #film & #TV production sector is in freefall, with around 75% of freelancers in the sector currently off-contract (remember this is a sector where shirt-term project work is a major aspect of #employment)....
I'd love to be able to blame the #Tories for this (and welcome replies than can), but actually this seem to exemplify the vulnerability of the UK to factors beyond our own economy....
