PRODUCERS - We’re looking for feature film projects to co-produce. Please read this thread carefully as the remit is quite specific. Please RT! #film #ukfilm #filmproducers
1/ Looking for UK producers who have produced at least one feature film above £500k budget.
2/ Projects need to be very clearly identifiable genres: Rom-Coms, Comedies, Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Thrillers. We are NOT looking for Dramas, Horror, Coming-of-Age, Grey Pound or Art-House at this time.
This is what it's like on the producing frontline currently. Proud to be a member of @ProdRoundtable and a huge round of applause for @Loran_Dunn @HelenSimmons8 @SophitaReynolds for their tireless work on this. #film #producing #filmproducer #ukfilm
@ProdRoundtable @Loran_Dunn @HelenSimmons8 @SophitaReynolds For too long producing has been an elitist hobby and the system has been built to keep those without access to money out. This has had a notable effect on diversity and the types of films that are allowed to be made.
There has been precious little support for emerging producers over the years and it's good to see funding bodies acknowledging that more needs to be done.
#BlueStory opens with a £1.3m weekend. First off, Vue and Showcase were wrong to remove it from their screens (and have actually give it more exposure via all the news coverage). But let's focus on the business side here.... #film #ukfilm
What it shows is two things. 1) That if you invest in films aimed at underserved audiences, there are people who will spend money to come and see these films in cinemas (99.99% of them won't start a fight either)...
and 2) There is no substitute for a proper P&A spend and a decent sized release. Outside of the studios, there aren't many UK distribs that could have taken a 300+ screen gamble on this project. @ParamountUK deserve credit for that. More studios should invest in local indie films
