We want safe working environments, which means enough rest and sleep.

I myself nearly fell asleep at the wheel on more than one occassion after long shoots. I was pulled over both times for “drunk driving,” which the cops soon realized was exhaustion. This is a legitimate problem that must be fixed.

i'm all for it, but i can't help but think productions will be shooting abroad a lot more if this gets passed.

The expectation of what we have to do in a single shoot day is untenable - change has to happen right across the whole shoot ecosystem inc client expectations - having a better standard would certainly help in those conversations

Long hours are not only a risk to safety but also detrimental to mental health

Exhaustion leads to immunity breakdown, family breakups, mental health issues and has lead to the death of several colleagues in the last 5 years.

After over 30 years in the film industry and working on hundreds of commercials i know all too well about doing ridiculously long hours! It is about time this stops. There is no need to get people to work for 18-20 hours on a commercial.

This dangerous craziness has to end and financial penalties are the only way to make our voices be heard!

We really need to have shorter days as standard in commercials and the wider industry.

Overtime should be a back up plan not a large part of the schedule. When people are falling asleep driving home it’s serious.
