A large group of community and faith representatives on stone steps.

Faith Inclusion

Faith on set, planned at prep.

Practical tools for productions, heads of department and mid-level and senior crew, for every faith and for none.

Chapter 1

Planned at prep, not solved on the day

Two women and a camera technician prepare a cinema camera together on a studio floor.

Faith shapes the working day for a lot of crew: when they pray, when they eat, what they wear and what work they'll put their name to. Sorting it in prep is cheaper and calmer than fixing it on the floor.

The Toolkit makes that standard practice: a prep checklist, call-sheet wording, department briefings and a clear route for raising a need. See the Toolkit

On a crew now? Read Faith on set, a guide for crew and HoDs with a one-page crib sheet.

Why it matters

Time and food: Prayer, Sabbath, festivals and fasting, fitted round a schedule
Asking: Freelancers on short contracts hesitate to raise a need
Staying: Faith and race often combine, and shape who stays and who progresses

Chapter 2

Built for mid-level and senior crew

A trainee works a vision mixer in a live production gallery, monitors above her.

Being built with mid-to-senior Black and Global Majority professionals of faith, and tested with a working crew at their own grades. Developed with Screen Sisters CIC.

The aim: crew of faith stay and step up, at every grade.

The Abrahamic strand

Community and faith representatives on a terrace.

It began as the Abrahamic Faith Charter and is now part of the Toolkit: shared-values statements and practice notes written with Christian, Jewish and Muslim contributors, equal depth for all three, plus a production commitment organisations can adopt.
