ABSTRACT

Writers, directors, actors, and producers all have to decide what part ethics will play in their work. The creative team may chose to ignore, embrace, or co-opt ethical issues, but they can’t readily deny their existence; sometimes the ethical quandaries lurk below the surface before imploding and creating a crisis situation. Sometimes the quandaries are readily apparent at the start. In this chapter, we will examine some of the ethical issues that creative individuals face on a daily basis.
