IFH 481: The Problem with Abusive Film Sets with Greg Hemmings


Listen Later

Let me introduce to you all, filmmaker and award-winning film-preneur, Greg Hemmings - Chief storyteller and CEO of Hemmings House Pictures limited.   

I wanted to address the serious problem of verbal abuse interns and other crew persons face on film sets from directors, producers, or others in charge.

Why would I invite a CEO to discuss this topic? Well, Gerg’s company, Hemmings House Pictures creates content that inspires positive action. Their essence is to spread kindness and positivity within the work environment and through the content they produce. 

One example is the heartfelt music film When You Are Wild: A Day in the Life of J. Willis Pratt, which shows the power of friendship and how a community rallied together to help one of their own.

The moral model of Hemmings House Pictures is one that many in the industry can learn from. 

Hemmings has produced and directed countless documentaries, branded content, and commercials, featuring some of the most inspiring stories. One of which is his 2021 documentary, Sistema Revolution - a video case study that explores the impact that the Hemmings House Pictures documentary "Sistema Revolution" had on a community.

Besides film and commercial production, Hemmings Film Pictures also curates courses to employ other filmmakers to create positive social change.  

Without further ado, let’s get into it. Enjoy my conversation with Greg Hemmings.
