"A NEED, AN INCIDENT,


AND AN OPPORTUNITY SPARKED THE SIX-YEAR TRAJECTORY OF SAFE SET WORK FOR
EVERY-BODY."

VALÉRIE KAELIN


About


ABOUT


SAFE SET WORK FOR


EVERY-BODY

Français
Español

Safe Set Work for Every-Body (64 mins.) is an instructional documentary
featuring the Welcoming Workplace and the Canadian Internal Responsibility
System (IRS) as occupational safety factors both backstage and
behind-the-camera. By promoting a culture of safety among undergraduates and
apprentices aspiring to a career in the entertainment industry, we hope to raise
the standards of that sector’s behind-the-scenes human resources before a
widening audience. Safe Set Work for Every-Body is a teaching tool for those
responsible for the safety of young set workers.



Interviews with experts in the field and animated infographics contextualize
live action scenery-shifting demonstrations. While the challenge of community
inclusion among writers, directors, and performers receives attention, few
recognize the devastating implications of exclusion among crews. The team
members of Safe Set Work have resolved to address these through best practices
in occupational safety, including:

 

 * proper occupational wear

 * posture and ergonomics

 * the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OH&SA) and Regulations             
   (The Green Book)

 * classical set handling

 * the Welcoming Workplace

 * the Canadian Internal Responsibility System



All the while, our antic artwork has a little fun in tackling this cautionary
subject!

A need, an incident, and an opportunity sparked the six-year trajectory of Safe
Set Work for Every-Body. 



Theatre is the mothership of scenography. Many film crafts originated there and
continue to be practiced. As theatre companies make trailers to promote their
live productions or use motion picture projections as scenic elements, the
boundaries between the practices are increasingly fluid. The School of Image
Arts Film Studies Option needed a more accessible means of demonstrating that
(sound)stage set practice. While no substitute for hands-on drills under expert
supervision, at least there could be an audio-motion-picture standard for
production courses in both programmes.



An incident. Many incidents. Within our School, and as we came to discover,
Every-Where, where social habits of exclusion qualify women’s and visible
minorities’ access to education and careers. You’ll learn more about that in
Safe Set Work for Every-Body.



An opportunity. As a member of the Directors Guild of Canada/La Guilde
Canadienne des Réalisateurs, Valérie obtained a member’s perk: a one day’s pass
to the 2014 Annual Hot Docs Industry Conference, where she attended a
presentation by Johanna Blakely, Managing Director and Director of Research at
the Norman Lear Center. Appalled by the employment statistics for women in the
American film industry reported by Stacey Smith and in The Geena Davis Institute
on Gender in Media, she wondered how Canada compared. In 2014, that was a
dangerous question. Valérie became one of many seeking data sets to answer the
question.

HOW DID WE GET STARTED?


Thanks



OUR THANKS

Safe Set Work for Every-Body is deeply appreciative for the support of :







 

Ryerson University’s Learning & Teaching Office Teaching About Diversity Fund.
Its adjudicators agreed, twice, though others did not, that modelling inclusion
at the level of fundamental skills acquisition was essential. It was a big idea,
twice. The project received two cycles of funding, for the academic years of
2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The office remains an ongoing support to the film.











Scott Martin, the Technical Director of The School of Performance (known as The
School of Theatre at the time) agreed that the project was a good idea, to
become one of the script’s principle researchers and writers. (Thank goodness!)
With his participation, that school kindly made its scene shop available as one
of the film’s locations.











The School of Image Arts Film Studies Option made its soundstage, set inventory,
and camera and lighting packages available through The Cage—as well as countless
editing suite hours. (Thank goodness!)








The Toronto International Film Festival Library provided data sets for Canadian
Films. (Thank goodness!)

 

Marlena Pearson, then a master’s student of the Department of Psychology, to
become a PhD candidate, came on as our statistician. (Thank goodness!)

 

Golzar Taravati, MFA, The School of Image Arts Documentary Media, did a lion’s
share of data management.
 
The cast, production crews, and several post production teams consisted of many
Ryerson University students and alumni.



Individual experts and products from government, academia, journalism, unions,
and industry, from Canada, the United States, and the European Union,
contributed to the project.

 

Thanks to James Resendes, Emmett Fraser, Kaitlyn Leewing, Creative Post Inc. and
Peter Hatch for their patient crafting.











Thank you to James Warrack’s Ryerson University Raymond G. Chang Summer Film
School for supporting the project with interim survey viewings and its May 15,
2018 presentation.

November 21st, 2019

At the 2019 Annual School of Image Arts Student Awards Ceremony, a Sarah Jones
Film Student Safety Grant was awarded to its only Canadian recipients to date.
After almost six years since Safe Set Work for Every-Body’s slate was dedicated
to Sarah on camera, meeting her father, Richard Jones, that November 21st was
deeply moving. It is gratifying that Sarah and others will not have suffered in
vain, as activists confer to implement strategies for re-educating the industry.

the Ryerson Awards Night on Wednesday, March 28, 2018–in part for leading the
cross-disciplinary team that produced Safe Set Work for Every-Body.
