Ms Jessica Drum:

I wanted to jump in and say that this is a vibrant industry with an enormous number of people working very happily. The references that are being made here relate to a small proportion of people. A lot of work has gone into the communicating with crew and all other stakeholders. There are so many systems in place and the guilds are there as a representative body to help everybody and make sure that things are done in a fair way. I am not sure that it is representative of a small number of people when we have never had such a busy time in film over the past few years. We all recognise there are always issues in every industry with employers and employees but the channels of communication here are open. At no point is anybody ever in a situation where he or she does not have somewhere to go. We have our website. Anybody who works in film in any capacity is welcome to call me and we can help them with any issues they might have. I would very much refute the blacklisting allegations. It is not something that I have come across. It is important to say that that is a small minority of people and it is not representative of the people we deal with.
