Welcomed Broadcast optimism today, and particularly Ian Katz commitment to more commissioning on Channel4 - a day for celebration coupled with the news that Edinburgh's Action for Freelancers appears to be confronting myriad issues that affect mental health amongst UK's freelancers working across the industry. As the Managing Director on the coal face of working with freelancers at Linklinecrew, responsible for managing the diaries and workflows of more than 150 freelance camera crew working across all genres of production, it would be constructive to use Edinburgh as a platform to equally draw attention to a subject that appears to receive scant attention at the moment; The need to safeguard the craft and expertise of Camera Crew across the broadcast and corporate sphere whose mental health and livelihoods continue to deteriorate with increased and alarming frequency; We, here at Linklinecrew are witnessing the effects of this on an anecdotal but monumental level. Scaling back and rendering as expedient, experienced crew to enable already overstretched production staff to do jobs they simply don't have the technical capacity to do , to my mind creates three dangerous paradigms; It places huge additional strain on overstretched production staff; exploits and puts camera assistants who are asked to pick up the slack in the most invidious positions when things go wrong and finally deprives those who have worked for years to learn their craft of a basic and decent livelihood. It's been incredible privilege to see the verve with which Execs and Commissioners have pushed for greater diversity within the crewing landscape - a commitment to safeguard all roles on the shooting landscape would avert a mental health crisis that we have seen on a daily basis between 2023-2024.

Freelancers are the unsung heroes connecting the world and driving the global digital economy. They are the epitome of the 'work from anywhere' culture, providing their skills and expertise from their corner of the world to clients across continents. By breaking traditional geographical barriers, freelancers create a global labor market, where talent is shared and utilized irrespective of physical location. Through the power of the internet and digital platforms, freelancers can collaborate with individuals and businesses on a global scale. They offer services ranging from writing, designing, programming, consulting, and much more, allowing companies to tap into a diverse and dynamic talent pool. Furthermore, freelancers foster cross-cultural exchanges and global understanding. They become bridges between cultures, languages, and industries, connecting people from different backgrounds through shared projects and collaborations. In this way, freelancers are not just individuals offering their services; they are connectors, innovators, and global citizens contributing to a more interconnected world. Through their work, they demonstrate that despite our geographical differences, we can collaborate and create value together. #Freelancing
