  • 1 Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Patricia Duncan I am writing in relation to your open call for written evidence to the above inquiry, in particular the subject of studios and of ‘Infrastructure, Intelligence and Maximising Benefit to Scotland’. In this document, I will initially summarise UK studio development trends, and in context of this analysis, evidence why state aid has become a perceived, rather than actual, barrier to state or local authority investment in screen infrastructure in Scotland. I will subsequently discuss how we can take advantage of present and forthcoming opportunities in the screen and creative industries sector, and propose a viable model for the development of the type of physical space the industry requires. 1. UK studio development trends Studio facility development for the creation of film and television content broadly falls into two categories - new build, or the refurbishment or repurposing of vacant industrial space. 1.1. New build From a new build perspective, UK studio development seems (which I will disprove later in this document) to be private sector driven. Typically, the developer may be an existing studio provider looking to expand their offer using debt or equity financing, or indeed their own resources. Alternatively, it may be a new entrant to the sector speculatively building facilities, and presenting a business proposal that will interest investors on the promise of an attractive yield. The obvious UK industry leader, Pinewood Group Ltd, has an existing global reputation and critical mass in Buckinghamshire on which to build upon, and as an investable entity is very strong, hence the ongoing new build expansion of their site1.

    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector inquiry Supplementary written evidence from Film City Glasgow On behalf of our tenants, please accept my thanks to you and the Committee for taking the time to visit Film City Glasgow. The ongoing work of the Committee has been conspicuous and well received by the industry, and I look forward to hearing how your inquiry is progressing. In terms of the discussion we had in relation to infrastructure, despite the challenges the sector has faced in resolving the ‘studio’ question, I believe more now than ever there is a confluence of opportunity that will allow us to create the foundation on which the sector can build. The SSLG report; the creation of the Screen Unit; the doubling of Creative Scotland’s screen budget; the NFTS’s flag in the ground in Scotland; and the FOCUS business development project which Film City is managing; all initiatives that will lead to what I see are the two overriding ambitions for the sector - growth and volume. As you will recall, my presentation to the Committee paid particular attention to infrastructure and the success of Manchester City Council in their delivery of production facilities for the screen and creative industries, primarily through an arms- length organisation MCDA Ltd, which is 100% owned by the local authority. I also drew parallels with Film City Glasgow, and how both our respective projects in Glasgow and Manchester have been founded on the principles of ‘sectoral clustering’ and ‘attracting both indigenous and international productions’ – and both very successfully.

It’s wonderful to be recognised for our great apprentices, inspiring work and strong leadership. However what really matters is whether we are making a difference to the community we have set out to serve: are we sourcing from diverse communities? Are we advancing education in creative digital? Are we opening access to talent from a wider social background? Furthermore, how are we more than the sum of our parts? This year we commissioned an independent report created by First Ark, who calculated that every £1 spent with SharpFutures generates £8 in social value. We have proven that we are solving a business need and creating social impact in Manchester – why wouldn’t you book us? This year, grow and invest in POD.
