INDUSTRY CONVERSATION By Adrienne Gurman
🌟 New interview in PLSN with Lori Rubinstein, Executive Director of Behind the Scenes 🌟
I’m happy to share my latest article about “Behind the Scenes,” a charity that helps the incredible people in the entertainment technology industry who work behind the scenes, by providing crucial financial support and mental health resources to those in need, making sure that industry professionals and their families get the help they deserve.
“Our grants are aimed at those who have earned their living in the industry for at least five years. We’re talking about the people who work behind the camera in film, TV, broadcast, the people who work behind the curtain in any live event production, as well as the people who work for the companies that design, manufacture, sell, or rent entertainment technology, lighting, rigging, audio, or scenic equipment,” said Executive Director, Lori Rubinstein.
“On the mental health side, we’re strengthening and expanding existing initiatives and developing new ones. We just launched career expansion/transition resources and are working on communication initiatives because we’re hearing more about how better communication could reduce resentment and conflict. We’re also conducting a new survey called “Exploring Mental Health Needs in a Changing Industry” because there have been massive changes since 2019,” Rubinstein explained.
Please take a closer look at the great work BTS is doing to promote well-being and unity among us all. 🎭💚
