DIALOGUES Holding the Center: Producing Under Pressure

Independent producers are the creative, financial, and emotional backbone of the screen industry, yet their own wellbeing is rarely addressed. Drawing on the findings of the EAVE Impact Think Tank 2026 Report, Producers in Focus: Mental Health, Resilience, and Support, this conversation explores the unseen pressures producers carry and shares practical strategies for care, resilience, and sustainable practice. Together, the panel will examine how producers and the wider screen sector can share responsibility for creating a healthier production culture.
