If ever there was proof of award season silliness, it would be how LA CHIMERA, which premiered at the same festival as ANATOMY OF A FALL and ZONE OF INTEREST is going to end up with less gongs & probably a lot less audience than them. Mainly because of Award “strategy”.

I know I'm QT myself but I am so sad & annoyed about how the UK film indie industry is treated; It's been the case since I moved to the UK and things are getting worse (most people I talk to in private agree I promise); and yet there is sooo much talent and potential. Maddening.

As imperfect as they might be, give your national and regional public bodies a hug tonight. And lobby them for a levy or an investment obligation to be imposed on streamers. The vast majority of Europe and even Canada are doing !

Update: received an email the same day about this event. Yours for £175+VAT. Obviously understand these events cost money so no shame on Screen for at least having the good grace to organise but in any normal country, an event of this nature should be heavily subsidised.

See it’s not difficult. Why can’t we have this in the UK? A cross sector / discipline gathering on home soil where the whole industry speaks to each other. Could be made available online too.

Emphasis on URGENT. This is something we’re all going to need to organise and lobby for because for an industry that has been described as facing “existential crisis”, the lack of urgency and transparency from the supposed custodians of British independence cinema is concerning.

I feel like there needs to be an URGENT British Film Summit where filmmakers can get together and try to figure out how to save our dying independent film industry. We have the talent in front and behind the camera. We just lack opportunities/funding.

If 70% of global audiences view Britishness as a mark of high-quality film & TV, driving tourism & strengthening the UK's soft power, logic would be to increase public funding for the screen industries. Levelling up would also require that these additional funds go the regions.

Saying it like it is. Because even when you end up w/ a good indie distributor, the release of your film will suffer if they decide you are not one of their frontrunners. Because this award season and how it is structured sucks up all the oxygen for all bar 20/25 films. Broken.

Sorry to be a philistine and a lesser human being in some people’s eyes but over 2h15 min running time for films is a major turn off for me. It’s not a question of quality* it’s a question of available time in my life, stamina and bladder. MI7 : 2h43min Oppenheimer : 3hrs 🤦🏻‍♀️

💯 If enhanced tax credit for indie UK films happens, producers fees (& writers / directors) should be ring-fenced with fee definition agreed by law. No deferment possible is you want the tax credit. + a % of it should be treated as producer equity by law. No ifs no buts.

The problem is that the industry is built on the free work indie producers do. We have built a culture that accepts, indie producers must discover, develop + launch unproven talent for everyone else in the industry to profit. But we are not prepared to pay for that service.

If the UK imposed a 20% investment obligation on Netflix alone, this would equate to £308m a year for local content (so not Bridgerton but the Crown) since Netflix UK turnover was £1.54bn in 2022. There is also no regulation of how much linear broadcasters
