Art has been giving me hope recently. I felt more inspired than ever to make art but also recognise the interconnected desires, hopes and struggles of artists globally.

“People do their best work when they’re allowed to actually be themselves and have their own point of view, in any job, in any role.”

“What excites me most is the return of craft in film…There’s something hopeful about watching filmmakers choose storytelling over spectacle and atmosphere over formula.”

“I wish there was more optimism in the world. I know in this current time that feels like a very big ask and maybe I’m insane. But I do believe that as humans we will always get through periods of hardship and continue to evolve.”

“Hirers can (and should) play a part in better supporting the mental health of their freelancers, so we’ve built a set of stepped principles which clients can consider.”

“There’s so much going on in the wider context of the world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and just carry on doing what you’ve always done.”

“It’s a signal that we may finally be reaching a real inflection point in our relationship with social media.”

“It's the first physical 'thing' I've ever made, there's something deeply satisfying about holding an idea in your hands.”
