The Covid-19 Diaries is a collaborative documentary project by Bristol Crew member Phoebe Holman. Its aim is to capture human experiences during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic: both the struggles and the beautiful moments.
The project is successfully bringing people together from around the world and encouraging a sense that we are not alone, even in isolation. Connection in a time of disconnection.

Established in 2009, Bristol Crew was created to fill a gap in the market between diary services and large crew databases.
Each member is hand-picked, interviewed and verified by site manager Sarah so you can be assured that their CVs are genuine and their attitude and professionalism is second to none.
Members are encouraged to share work, skills and participate in the mentoring of less experienced crew in their department. This means we're a strong and supportive team of freelancers with excellent connections and big ambitions to excel in our chosen fields.
Every crew profile has all the contact details you need to book directly.
For larger, bespoke teams of crew contact sarah@bristolcrew.co.uk for advice and recommendations.
Bristol Crew is a boutique database with limited space in each department. Membership is by invitation or recommendation only with application interviews taking place quarterly. There is currently a waiting list for both DOPs and Lighting Camera departments.
