Comcast-owned European pay TV giant Sky has committed $625,000 to a recently established emergency relief fund to support the U.K. creative community amid the coronavirus pandemic. Details:
"At this incredibly difficult time, it’s important that we do all we can to support our most needy freelance colleagues," says Gary Davey, CEO of Sky Studios.
The COVID-19 Film and TV Emergency Relief Fund, set up by the Film and TV Charity in partnership with the British Film Institute using National Lottery funding, launched earlier this month with an initial £2.5 million pot to distribute to industry creatives impacted by the crisis. It is providing grants to thousands of industry workers and freelancers who have been directly affected by the suspension of productions across Britain.
Said Alex Pumfrey, CEO of The Film and TV Charity: "Sky's support is a fantastic boost to the Emergency Relief Fund that will make a huge difference to many."
