Rio De Janeiro — Netflix announced Tuesday April 14, the creation of a 5 million reals ($1 million) fund to support local below-the-line production employees and free-lancers not able to work due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The aid will be distributed by the Brazilian Institute of Audiovisual Content (Icab), an arm of leading industry organization Brazil Audiovisual Independent (Bravi). It will help up to 5,000 workers with one part of the local monthly minimum wage of Us$200. It targets personnel involved in production tasks, such as cinematography, sound, art design, makeup, scenography, and logistics.
The effort in Brazil is part of a Us$100 million worldwide fund Netflix announced March 20.
Brazilian workers can apply on Icab’s website (icabrasil.org) beginning April 28. A committee comprised of Icab, Bravi and Netflix members is due to respond to each application within 10 days.
