It's getting rather ridiculous, the number of producers I've heard state that they are the ONLY ones in the budget (see 13:08) who don't get health insurance. I assume these producers aren't in scripted tv/features, or they would know that VISUAL EFFECTS crew members are the only below-the-line employees (other than entry-level Production Assistants) who are non-union and do not qualify for ANY benefits. Many producers are able to qualify for MPI health insurance, at least.
Great panel. Thanks for this.
My favorite Panel!
I loved the conference. Every minute of it. And this was one of my top 3 panels..
