Olsberg•SPI has drawn on its expertise in the global production arena to produce an article for the Berlin edition of Film Business Asia.

Olsberg|SPI, on behalf of a major film agency, recently conducted an extensive review of how far the international public policy environment helps build industry sustainability through the emergence of film companies of scale.

SPI was retained to conduct a feasibility study into the possible creation of a new fund to invest in local and incoming productions in order to expand inward investment and increase exports. The assignment included an assessment of competing Northern European film production centres (London, Hamburg, Berlin, Trollhattan in Sweden).

In response to the European Commission's study into the economic and cultural impacts of territorialisation, SPI, on behalf of the EFADs, prepared a memorandum explaining the rationale behind territorialisation and considering the impacts of territorialisation on European co-productions.

SPI, in association with Irwin Gray Associates and TBR, was retained by Northern Film & Media (NFM), the regional screen agency for the North East of England, to develop a strategy for driving success and growth in the independent television industry of that region.

The European Film Agencies Directors have consistently endorsed the way in which the European Commission has treated territorialisation as defined in the 2001 Cinema Communication.
