In our brand new fundraising film, we share Tony’s story - a talented sound engineer with years of experience in the industry. Through Tony’s eyes, the film reveals challenges many in our industry face: loneliness, financial pressures, and mental health struggles. It also shows how the Film and TV Charity can be a guiding light - made possible by your generosity.
At its core, the film is a powerful reminder: your donation can be a turning point - bringing light to dark moments, hope in uncertainty, and strength when it’s needed most.
Created by Neon Pictures, directed by Joseph Morel and produced by Freddie Hill, this story was brought to life with care and passion by a dedicated team of creatives and partners, including @sandomedia, Audio Dept, @GardenStudiosHQ , @cineworld, @ChapmanLeonard1, @GetSetHire, GripVan Lighting, and Sugar Studios.
Together, we can build an industry where everyone feels supported, valued, and included.
Please watch, share, and, if you’re able, donate - because together, we can make our industry truly incredible.
