Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Alfonso Cuaron launch Audiovisual Emergency Fund for anyone in movies in need of financial help amid the chaos caused by the coronavirus.
A trio of Oscar-winning Mexican film directors known as "The Three Amigos" launched a fund on Thursday to help workers in their industry hit hard by Covid-19. "This is finding a way, as an industry, as colleagues, as human beings, to hold hands... It is the power of the union without asking anyone for help," Inarritu said in a videoconference from Mexico City.
It will be distributed in payments of 20,000 pesos among technical workers affected by the epidemic, which has left some 30,000 families without income in the local industry.
