Netflix has set up a $100m fund for creatives whose jobs have been affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As well as the announced fund, Netflix had already agreed to pay workers two weeks’ worth of wages.
The company will also offer $15m to not-for-profits that offer emergency relief to out-of-work cast and crew members in countries where they have major productions.
The statement follows news that an estimated 120,000 film industry workers have lost their jobs as a result of the crisis, according to the US entertainment industry union IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees).
