Complementing your focus on the labor in producing film,

you may want to be aware of my 50yrs of research on 70 years of tv sitcom representations of labor.

For the last article see, Richard Butsch, "Class and gender thru seven decades of American sitcoms," June Deery and Andrea Press eds, Media and class, Routledge 2017. The first was Glennon and Butsch, "The family portrayed on television" Teleivision and Behavior: Ten Years, 1982, and Butsch and Glennon, "Social class: trends in prime time, 1946-1978, J of Broadcasting 1983.
