British Screen Forum, September 2024
UK indie producers face growing challenges with government support and policy changes, which often disproportionately favor larger media corporations and streaming platforms. Budget cuts to critical bodies like the BFI and diminishing public funding have restricted the resources available to smaller production companies, leaving them at a disadvantage. Additionally, independent producers lack the same IP protections enjoyed by the high-end TV sector, hindering their ability to retain revenue-generating rights. Coleman Moser’s Government Relations and Policy Advocacy service offers comprehensive support by helping companies navigate complex regulatory frameworks and lobby for needed reforms. Through strategic advocacy, our clients can push for tax incentives on unscripted content, gain access to regional funding, and improve IP rights protections, creating a more equitable policy environment that supports the independent sector’s long-term sustainability.
