has joined forces with Audiens, the social protection group of the French cultural sector, to set up an emergency fund for local freelance artists and crew members.
The grant is aimed at supporting the most vulnerable freelance workers in the TV and film sectors, notably carpenters, electricians and hair and make-up artists, who have been hit by the cancellations and/or postponing of productions due to the coronavirus pandemic. “In addition to the support we give to the crews, casts and technical partners involved in our productions, we also want to help those who most need financial assistance in the sector more broadly, especially freelancers hit by the current crisis,” added Couvreur.
“One of the founding values of Audiens is solidarity and we thank Netflix for their commitment to supporting professionals, artists and technicians working in the audiovisual and film industry in these difficult times,” said Thirion.
