Difficult times in the uk industry

Really struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now in the Uk tv and film industry… have so many friends and crew I know not working, and sadly leaving the industry

And then weirdly enough I see so many “Rich kids” and “Nepo babies” continue to work and take jobs away from those that really need it

I know this is rant and sadly the bubble after the pandemic had to pop eventually. But really does feel like so many who are in the position to hire, are just hiring who they know. And more so that own camera equipment already.

So difficult coming from a working class background, or being a foreigner or person of colour or female right now in the industry.
