The Work Life Balance

Sat 13 July | 10:30-12:30 | Veranda Lounge, Galmont Hotel

Screen Producers Ireland and Screen Guilds of Ireland are launching a new Work Life Balance best practice guide which is intended to promote flexibility for everyone working in production (crew and producers).

The guide informs on best practice approaches on managing the working day such as split days, meal breaks, night shoots etc.

It also includes key provisions of the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023, which allows requests to be made for flexible working, domestic violence leave and leave for medical or caring purposes.

This best practice guide has been published to complement the SPI/SIPTU Shooting Crew Agreement 2021.

A panel discussion will take place consisting of producers and crew and their experiences of the importance of work life balance on set.

Panellists:  

• Ange Senior – Skills Development Executive (Screen Ireland)
• Anna Mannion – Founder & Producer (Tri Moon Films)
• Ailish Bracken – Raising Films Chairperson and Freelance Line Producer
• Jade Travers – National Talent Academies (Film & TV Crew Academy East Manager)
