Congrats to all these Breakthrough Producers! I was delighted to co-chair the subgroup this year with @JolyByName. Some amazing feats of producing in what is a really challenging time. And well done to @BIFA_film for recognising the producers with their own award. #BIFA2024

Are you UK based and at the early stage of your career or looking to break into documentary features/TV?
I'm currently looking for support in two separate roles. Production work and video editing on a few projects. A varied selection.
Please get in touch to discuss the roles, pay/commitment options. Likely from August but could be earlier. Please share!

Would any writing mummas be up for a chat about how they juggle writing and parenting? He’s still pretty little at 6 months but I’m currently having to dictate everything and wondering if anyone had any better ideas 🤪

Congrats to this cohort of talented producers. Delighted to be mentoring this year. Producers are the lifeblood of indie film, so pleased to see @BIFA Springboard supporting them in this way. #Film #Producing

I can assure everyone that neither I, nor any producer I know looks at this.
A rep for movie directors reveals that Rotten Tomatoes scores of a director’s past movies are now the first thing producers look at when directors are pitched to them.

OKAY, I'm doing it folks! Here's how I got by £££ as an independent producer, who came neither from wealth, nor from London (grew up in South Yorkshire). It's important to say that I wish producing were a sustainable career in itself at every level. But this has been the reality.

Some thoughts on the new Indie Film Tax Credit 🧵
I'll preface this by saying that I think it's a really good thing and we should be happy to have this uplift for indie film. And any calculations I've done are my estimates.

Breaking:
UK introduces 40% tax relief for films budgeted up to £15m in bid to reignite indie sector screendaily.com/news/uk-intr…

💯
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.

These are the people that grow and develop the British film industry, that discover and nurture talent, and train crew. The entire future of the British film industry rests on these people, and yet, they are chronically under supported, undervalued, and forced out.

78% of indie producers work 40+ hrs a week on their producing, and have to hold down a second job because fees are crushingly low.
UK Producers' Roundtable retweeted
82% report that their job has a negative impact on their mental health.
83% of respondents report that being an indie producer is completely unsustainable.

As you’re watching the BAFTAs tonight remember:
95% of indie producers who have produced 3-5 features earned less than £25k a year for their producing work.
82% bafta nominated/winning indie producers earned less than £15k a year.

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.
