Bullying Isn’t the Blow-Up. It’s the Buildup.

We often think bullying looks like one bad moment.

But in reality, it’s dozens of small ones, left unaddressed.

It starts quietly.

A dismissive tone.

A missed break.

A crew member interrupted one too many times.

No one flags it, because it doesn’t look serious.

Until it is.

Through our research, we found:

- 73% of those who felt conduct on a production set was low said safety protocols weren’t followed either — respect and rule adherence break together.

- 60% of cast and crew who felt unsupported said they didn’t feel safe speaking up either — unsupported people don’t just go quiet, they shut down.

These results did not appear because of one incident. These are the results of a pattern.

The truth is — bullying doesn’t show up unannounced.

It gives you signs. Small ones.

And when they’re missed, people don’t speak up — they step back.

That’s not about policy.

It’s about culture.

Save our guide with early signs that you can spot before they escalate.
