Is low-budget independent films slowly disappearing? Filming “Behind The Scenes” footage on film production allows me to get close to the creative production process and it’s always interesting to soak up and capture the atmosphere on a film set. This clip is from T.I.M., a low-budget indy film which was release on Netflix recently, which means it gets a wide distribution but many indy films are not so lucky and only gets a short run at festivals before being shelved. With less people going to the cinema, it’s become harder to finance low-budget films. I wonder if they will they still get made in 5-10 years? When did you last go to the cinema to watched a low-budget film?

This ties in nicely with my last post and the working class and film… it is, for me the education system that is at fault here because the courses being taught at Level 2 and Level 3 are to broad and don’t specialise in key roles, which, to be honest bleeds into the Higher Education courses available! Also, these courses are under funded, under staffed or staff who have no industry experience! I fell into teaching to fund my filmmaking, which was a bad idea as education has different goals that are not compatible with the media industry and as a creative it tried to strip me and force me to work in the confines of the education system. Also, especially in Level 2 & 3, deadlines are not important and in order for a student to get a Pass of some kind they can be marked across the board of the course rather then the individual modules! Deadlines are key to working in film and television and working as a crew, understanding the pecking order and the importance of each position, even runners are there for a reason and not college work experience! I could go on and on but education should give everyone an equal playing field which, under the present government, is not happening! Time for a change… 😈

It was great to start 2024 with some positive news about something close to mine and Kirsty Bell hearts - The North East! But whilst passion comes in to this, there are a number of drivers to our decision to do more in this amazing region which I will touch on below. We have been putting this plan together for close to 5 years now and only in the last 6 months have we seen the lights go in peoples heads - hopefully this will lead to more govt and soft funding options becoming available - which have been severely lacking to date. We are excited by Leo Pearlman Fulwell 73 Productions plans and hugely appreciate them using their impressive profile in the industry to draw attention to our collective cause and wish them every success in their endeavour in Sunderland! We would like to thank Alison Gwynn and her team at North East Screen for their support and congratulate them on everything they have achieved in the last 24 months to put the region back on the agenda and make it far more more visible within the ent sector! 1. Clear Market Opportunity - The North East has been chronically underinvested in for a number of decades and has very little in terms of an ent sector (apart from Video Games). There are no studios for film / tv production bar Hartlepool and no post facilities. It is untapped in terms of natural resource and talent. Yet we have a shortage of studio space and edit facilities nationally and a concentration in and around London. Infrastructure is the key necessity for the region to consider itself a serious option for film and tv producers and productions. 2. Clear Business Opportunity - For Goldfinch owning a studio and post facility allows us to push costs down, greenlight more projects, generate another revenue stream and turbo charge other businesses we are involved in > First Flights, N44, Selectors, Myco - all things we need to be thinking about as business owners in the ent sector in general. The region will only be as good as the busiensses operating within it. 3. Untapped Talent Pool - the North East has a huge number of colleges (20+) and universities (5+) all with energetic students desperate for job opps and a pathway to filmmaking. Whilst they need further training and mentorship, this pool is vital to provide the life blood for companies, productions and the infrastructure being built here. 4. Pride - We are a proud region, that has been left behind economically vs the rest of the UK. Globally you can see the economic and cultural effects that entertainment and sport has on regions embracing and investing in to it. We have seen this first hand with investment in to NUFC and we can continue to elevate and put the spot light back on the North East through meaningful investment in the entertainment sector now! Thank you to all our supporters and partners so far in our North East journey. The tunnel is v long but at least we have some light to focus on at the end now 😎
