Newsletter / Autumn 2019
NEWSLETTER / AUTUMN 2019 Welcome from our Chairman Adam O'Neill Welcome to the Autumn newsletter... Busy times at BFDG HQ with the management team, supported by the committee, working flat out on bringing you the new the bigger and better BFDG Awards 2019. Lots of work is going on behind the scenes, and members will be able to take part in the first vote from all the entries at the beginning of November. Although the BFDG Awards are an important event with the opportunity to promote and celebrate our members and their work The Guild is much more than just the Awards. There is a steady flow of new members joining us all the time, we have established links with the BECTU Art Department committee (of which I am a member) to discuss the rate card and the IR35/Schedule D liability issue, which will impact us all from April 2020, we continue to run regular events which are open to all members, there will be another Q&A coming up in November, and we are consulting with other Guilds regarding the future direction of the Joint Guild Screenings. Further afield, we are a member of ARTSCENICO and are keeping in touch regarding their recent discussions on sustainability and furthering links to the other European Guilds. Regarding the BFDG committee:- Anyone can become a member of the committee, it is open to all grades, all ages, genders, shade of hair colour, shoe size, etc. A recent point I made regarding this may have been misunderstood, so I would like to clarify: The younger committee members are the future, and are therefore very important, but I don’t want more senior members to feel they are not welcome to contribute, that would be wrong as well. -

A Producer's Handbook
DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice. -
