EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. About the Study Recent years have seen unprecedented global growth in film and television drama series (together, “Screen”) production. The scale and global nature of this production presents a major opportunity for countries and regions to service demand by investing in production capability and capacity. Against this backdrop, the Association of Film Commissioners International (“AFCI”) has commissioned creative industries consultancy firm Olsberg•SPI (“SPI”) to undertake an assessment of best practice in Screen sector development (the “Study”). The Study highlights a range of successful strategies and policies that have been implemented by established and emerging markets around the world with the aim of maximising their share of high-value production activity. Four of the most important areas within which best practice can be demonstrated provide the framework for the Study: • Automatic incentives;1 • Workforce capacity; • Capacity building in physical infrastructure and services; and • Film-friendly production environment.2 These four areas are critical in the attraction of international Screen productions, providing both incentives and capacity to ensure that projects can be attracted and effectively serviced.

  • Laura Aviles Takes up the Reins
    LAURA AVILES TAKES UP THE REINS AT THE BOTTLE YARD STUDIOS AND BRISTOL FILM OFFICE The Bottle Yard Studios is recognised by the Royal Television Society West of England with 2020 Sir Ambrose Fleming Memorial Award BRISTOL, 10 September 2020: Laura Aviles has been appointed Senior Film Manager by Bristol City Council, responsible for the management of The Bottle Yard Studios and Bristol Film Office. A production specialist with more than 25 years industry experience, Laura will oversee delivery of Bristol City Council’s filming strategy, promoting Bristol as an outstanding filming location and ensuring the city can deliver a single, complete and consistent offer that encompasses studio filming at The Bottle Yard and Bristol Film Office’s logistical support for productions on location. Laura Aviles, Senior Film Manager says: “Having built my production career in Bristol producing content for many different commissioners and channels, I’ve worked with and witnessed the skills and professionalism of Bristol crew and facilities companies first-hand. I’ve watched the city’s reputation for filming rise, due in no small part to the hard work of the small teams at The Bottle Yard Studios and Bristol Film Office. I’m delighted to take on this new role and work with Natalie and Janine to bring the Film Office and Studios closer together. With production gearing up across the UK, my focus is firmly on ensuring that as a unified film team we can continue to build on past successes, to benefit Bristol’s crews, supply chains and partner businesses.” Cllr Craig Cheney, Deputy Mayor for Finance, Governance, Performance and Culture, said: “I welcome Laura to the team and look forward to working with her to build on the successes of The Bottle Yard Studios.

  • Go West! Bristol’S Film and Television Industries
    Go West! Bristol’s Film and Television Industries Andrew Spicer and Steve Presence Acknowledgements This project benefited from the knowledge, support and hard work of many people and organisations. In particular we would like to thank the following individuals: Dr Lisa Harrison, Associate Dean Learning and Teaching in the Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education (ACE) at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), who supported our proposal to use the Higher Education Innovation Fund to carry out the research on which the report is based. Eleni Christopoulou, the researcher attached to the project during its six-month data gathering phase, was a vital member of the team and conducted much of the groundwork during that period. Lynn Barlow, Director of Creative Industries in ACE and perhaps the best-connected media person in the city, was invaluable in brokering introductions and providing the kinds of insights into Bristol’s film and television cluster that cannot be learned. Professor Felix Ritchie and Dr Ian Smith at UWE Bristol’s Faculty of Business and Law, and Dr Stephen Usmar, Economic Intelligence Officer at Bristol City Council, provided extremely valuable feedback about the statistical challenges involved in the project, for which we are very grateful. We have also received considerable support from UWE Bristol’s Research and Business Innovation team – thanks to Jane Askew and Claire Furlong. The company location map is based on an original illustration by Katherine Shotliff, a second-year UWE Bristol Graphic Design student. Harry Pitts, a PhD student at the University of Bath, carried out several follow-up interviews with many of the companies in the study.
