Entertainment Community Fund and Women In Film are backing the Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund, which is aiming to be a permanent fixture.
Led by Alper, a Writers Guild of America West board member, and support staffer Alex Rubin, the fund is being launched in collaboration with Entertainment Community Fund and Women In Film, the latter of which donated $10,000 to the fund. According to today’s announcement, the fund will provide one-time grants to assistants and support staff with under three years of industry experience.
Rubin added, “Support staff jobs are the elemental step to a career in film and television, and the first three years are incredibly important. They’re times of learning, connection, and growing into who you will be as a member of the industry, but those years also include low pay, long hours, and sacrifice. Work stoppages interrupt a new professional’s trajectory and, when coupled with the daily lack of support and resources, can mean the end of a career.
“Once again, we find ourselves in difficult, unpredictable times, where the need for a safety net is crucial to so many of our industry colleagues. Thanks to #PayUpHollywood and WIF, we’ll be able to help support staff so that they can continue to build a life in the arts,” shared Joe Benincasa, president and CEO of the Entertainment Community Fund.
