This document presents key findings from an independent study commissioned by Directors UK and conducted by CREATe, exploring the financial and contractual realities of UK-based screen directors. Drawing on survey data from 592 Directors UK members and qualitative interviews, the report examines the structure of earnings, working conditions, and contract practices within the UK audiovisual industry, which is undergoing significant change amid digital disruption, declining traditional revenues, and increased competition from global streaming platforms. While based on UK data, these findings resonate with broader challenges in global creative labor markets.
