“Pga developed ipsi, the independent production safety initiative, to fundamentally guide, and bring awareness and support to, how independent productions deal with sexual harassment and bullying on and off sets. Ipsi offers preventative training with the goal of eliminating harassment on set. Pga believes this program will provide real and meaningful assistance to independent producers. And will help foster cultural change. Ipsi gives eligible independent productions, at no cost, an hour of professional on set anti-harassment training from outside counsel, a content library of relevant materials, and up to two hours of free legal consultation from outside counsel. In addition to the free on set training, ipsi provides free quarterly trainings, in us production hubs, to anyone working in the entertainment industry. The ipsi content library includes materials, such as sample codes of conduct, checklists, and resource guides. The guild's independent production safety initiative has been offering virtual and in-person trainings and services.”
