Take the #HollywoodCommission Survey on Entertainment Workplace Culture

The Anita Hill-chaired Hollywood Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality has launched the first-ever survey about workplace culture in the entertainment industry. This survey will gather critical data anonymously that will be used to assist the Hollywood Commission in developing programs that address harassment and discrimination.

The survey is completely anonymous. The more people who take it, the more effective it will be. You do not need to have experienced discrimination, bias or harassment to participate in the survey. Every single person that has worked or tried to work in the entertainment business should take it – including those whose experiences have been positive.

HOLLYWOOD SURVEY LINK (ANONYMOUS): www.hollywoodsurvey.org

The survey is open through December 18.

The Hollywood Commission has partnered with the Ethics & Compliance Initiative, a non-profit institution focused on workplace behavior and integrity, to develop The Hollywood Survey. Findings will be released to the public in early 2020.

Visual Effects Society names acclaimed director-producer Roland Emmerich as the next recipient of VES Visionary Award in recognition of his valuable contributions to filmed entertainment -- to be presented at the 18th Annual VES Awards on January 29, 2020 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

VES will honor Emmerich, an inventive and highly visual storyteller, for his inspired vision and distinctive ability to harness craft and technology in creating epic cinematic experiences.

“Roland Emmerich has been at the forefront of utilizing visual effects to tell remarkable stories that transfix audiences and create new worlds,” said Mike Chambers, VES Board Chair. “Roland has a unique ability to harness emerging technology to bring his expansive visions to life and he has made an indelible mark in the world of filmed entertainment. For this and more, we are honored to award him with the prestigious VES Visionary Award.”

Emmerich is an international director, producer and screenwriter whose films - including INDEPENDENCE DAY, STARGATE, GODZILLA, THE PATRIOT, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, 2012, WHITE HOUSE DOWN, and INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE - have taken in more than $4 billion worldwide. His latest feature, Midway Movie, recounts the epic naval clash between American and Japanese forces that marked a turning point in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The action-packed feature is based on real-life events, paying homage to the pilots, leaders and sailors, and their bravery. Summit Entertainment, a Lionsgate company, will release the film tomorrow.
