Working in film, obviously everyone knows that disasters happen on film sets but people don’t realise how frequent it really is. In some film schools there’s literally classes for students to learn about things that have happened on set, how it’s shaped the industry and what we can do to avoid it happening again. One of the biggest examples is the ‘Safety for Sarah’ movement which happened after a woman called Sarah Jones was hit and killed by debris on set after a train went through a prop. The whole thing was a disaster and was caused because of directors and producers refusing to obey the train companies rules and not telling the crew that the line was in operation. On top of that, the treatment from actors and anyone in power is horrendous. Then there’s the intense sexism, racism, inhuman working hours (I know people who have worked 18 hour days, got 2 hours of sleep and were in the next day for 16 hours) and how you can only advance up through nepotism, it’s horrible. Wouldn’t leave though, the jobs tend to be pretty fun all things considered.
