In the ninth episode of Short Hand, we’re thinking about how to make your short film set a productive, inclusive and safe space. You’ll hear from filmmakers Katie Sinclair (The Last Days, Signs), Ella Glendining (Octopus) and Jessi Gutch (Octopus, The Forgotten C) and psychologist and consultant Michelle White. 

Topics covered include: how to support your film crew and keep morale high on set, establishing rules for good communication between the director and producer, things you might need to consider as the producer to make sure everyone has their requirements met, why good coffee is a must, the role of the wellbeing facilitator and psychological safety.
