A media charity has launched a survey into the mental health of workers in the film and TV industry, which the chief executive has described as an “unspoken crisis”.

Pumfrey explained that she felt compelled to launch the survey in the wake of the death of her colleague Michael Harm, a location manager who worked on thefilms and struggled with depression. Harm was found dead in a central London hotel room in 2017.“Tragically Michael’s story isn’t unique and as I go out and talk to people, I hear these stories more often than you would think or expect,” said Pumfrey.
