The Forgotten Casualties: Hollywood Crews in Need of Financial Aid During Strike
Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) president Bob Beitcher has called for greater support for below-the-line crewmembers in Hollywood amid the ongoing writers and actors strikes. Beitcher highlighted the devastating impact on crew members who are the backbone of the industry but often overlooked by the media. The MPTF has seen a significant increase in calls for financial assistance from crew members, who are at risk of losing their homes and livelihoods. Beitcher urged the industry to provide philanthropic support and encouraged donations to MPTF's emergency relief funding.
