'You have to be everybody’s best friend': how dreams and desires leave TV and film crew vulnerable to workplace exploitation

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 26, 2023

People may work for little or no money, often for experience or exposure – typically in the hope that future opportunities may follow.

Key Points: 
  • People may work for little or no money, often for experience or exposure – typically in the hope that future opportunities may follow.
  • Hope labour is distinct from free labour because the work is discounted against imagined future opportunities or earnings.
  • In the creative industries, hope labour is widely understood as a necessary pre-condition to paid work.
  • Creative and cultural jobs are often characterised by self-employment, uncertainty, project-based work, long hours, inequality and competition for scant opportunities.

The rise of freelancers

    • Freelancers make up over a third of broadcasters’ workforces, although many previously worked in-house.
    • Recruitment and vetting for freelance teams are often managed through informal social networks.
    • In this way, work isn’t simply about earning, it’s a way to build reputation, gain creative freedom or fulfilment, and learn or enhance skills.

Getting a reputation

    • One freelance artist and curator that we spoke to during our study of hope labour among creative freelancers, admitted:
      there’s a trap that people fall into.
    • And the precarious working conditions in creative industries provide few safe spaces for dialogue and critique, rebuke and reform.
    • If so, desires and hopes could be directed towards helping creative workers critique the way their industries are governed and managed.
    • Hope, in this sense, would point to a different future that could be about fairness, equity and safety for all.
