This! The Government and BFI love to quote the huge sums of cash that are being spent on UK film production (nearly £2 billion in 2022). But little to none of that is being used to support indie or grassroots filmmaking which is in crisis and essential to the UK domestic industry. The money could also be allocated to foster a more inclusive film industry, which has seen a decline in diversity and is dominated by nepotism. Would it really be that hard to create some regulation that says X amount of Y spent in the UK needs to be re-invested?
A big thank you to James Ryder for sharing my thoughts on how big studio mergers impact the UK indie film industry. "As US firms consolidate and expand, the UK’s film sector could be reduced to a ‘services hub’ for the US." 📈 This increases costs and threatens the viability of local indie productions. 💰 Capital, talent, and resources are diverted from the UK to international productions. ❗ Media giants receive preferential treatment, outpacing indie filmmakers.

👉🏻 A rise in M&A in media and entertainment will directly impact grassroots film production in the UK. This follows Paramount’s likely merger with Sony Pictures, Warner’s merger with Discovery, and Disney’s acquisition of Fox. How do you think independent film will be effected by these big mergers?

Insightful Words "Consumers are pickier and independent films have to be an event." - Jeff Deutchman, President of Acquisitions and Production at NEON. Deutchman highlights a crucial shift in the film industry: "Making an event out of film releases is no longer a requirement only for big #Hollywood productions, with independent films also demanding an event component to attract scarcer audiences to #cinemas." He further emphasizes the importance of #theatrical releases for #filmmakers: "If you believe what you’re doing, you go with a theatrical release. If you don’t, that’s the argument for #streaming." #FilmIndustry #IndependentFilms #FilmDistribution Variety

This is why copyrights, contracts, and chain of title to your film are so important - it can mean the difference between your project getting funded versus passed over. Thanks for your thoughts, Jon.
Most filmmakers don't have rich friends. Certainly not ones who just give them money to make movies. No, the secrets to financing your independent film or television projects is in the practice of packaging. New data in this report from WIPO breaks down how this aspect of the industry unlocks billions for producers. https://lnkd.in/ghEtbtRP #americanfilmmarket #afm2023 #afm #intellectualproperty #IP #film #filmfinance #filmmaking

Associate Director -Alight Craft Studios (A Unit of Alight Consultants Private Limited) Film Maker/Exective Produce/Writer/Director
Pitching Trailer Shoot #pitching #pitchingtrailer #trailer While learning at Sydney Film School, one thing I learnt the most is that while approaching potential investors/producers, a pitching trailer is must. I learned that in certain major productions such as Dreamworks Pitcutre, Warner Bros, Village roadshows and specifically 21st Century Fox/Fox Studios, whether you are a legendary film maker such as Steven Spielberg or Perter Jackson or you may be any new comer in the industry. Before you come to pitch, you need to have a bound script ready in industry format along with pitching trailer. If not, no matter how much maga star you are in the industry, you will not be entertained. Peter Jackson, even after giving huge blockbusters such as lord of the rings, still had to make a pitching trailer for District 9 for investors. Those learnings at film school have really shown some fruitful results while I shot my first pitching trailer.
