One down, looking for the rest
So, no rest for the slightly wicked. Actually, that’s not true. Knackered from the Sugarhouse Lane shoot, I’m on a brief holiday, and the feeling is good.
But the slingmachine chugs on. No sooner than wrapping on our first film, we have put our second out to cast, and further have commenced in earnest our search for the rest of next years projects. We announced last week our shinny new development track, supported by skillset, in which we are seeking new talent and new projects.
You can read the news about it here and if you are a writer, agent or producer wanting to submit a project or team for consideration, the process for doing so can be found over here
What we are trying to do in the grandly named “Training and Development towards Greenlight” process, in association with our friends and parterns at PAL ant the Met Film School, is improve on the dismal odds of the typical British development cycle, where (according to Arista only 1 in 27 films with significant development spend in them, convert into production. That’s such a depressing figure, we thought we could hardly do worse.
If you have had a good or bad development experience, in particular if you have views on The UKFC development track, PAL or Arista Development Programmes or have a view on our own programme, we’d love to hear from you as we prepare to launch into the “TDTG” (see above) process.
