Mark Milsome was a talented, respected and much loved camera operator who died on set, behind his camera when a car stunt went tragically wrong in Ghana in November 2017. The Mark Milsome Foundation launched one year later with 4,000 cast, crew and productions worldwide wearing Black Foundation T-Shirts to mark the anniversary. www.markmilsomefoundation.com.
Due to the nature of Mark’s death, it was only a matter of time before the MMF started to focus on Health and Safety in the Modern Film and Television industry.

All results and comments are available on the MMF website but key findings included:
Based on these findings, Kirk Jones started writing this course which was launched on 15th December 2021. It was developed with support from Media Safety and the National Film and Television School.
