SPI Chairman Jonathan Olsberg presented emerging findings of a major study currently being undertaken for UK producers' body Pact at the Screen Film Summit in London today (December 10).

Olsberg•SPI has been retained to produce a key study on the economic, cultural, and audience contributions of the UK's film, high-end TV, animation, and video games industries.

Olsberg•SPI has published an independent research report that provides a new look at the problem of sustainability for independent film companies and addresses the challenges, and potential solutions, for industry and government.

A number of research and strategy projects undertaken by Olsberg•SPI (from our articulation of a new business model for producers for PACT to our long-standing work on the archive sector) were used in evidence in the government’s recent Film Policy Review.

SPI wrote a much-discussed report for UK producers’ body PACT, spelling out ways that independent producers could build sustainable businesses. The proposals suggest a future in which producers can use public funds in a more entrepreneurial way, with greater control of their own IP and the potential to reinvest revenues from successful films in creating growth.
