Yet while managing a critical illness most freelancers have no financial help and little assistance in securing new contracts. Who supports them? We are calling on all industry leaders to step up and provide better support for freelancers wanting to return to work. Our industry must do better.


This episode is dedicated to the memory of Ann Marie Goodwin, a breakthrough leader and integral part of the TV Collective, who sadly passed away from cancer, whose legacy continues to inspire us all.
