North West Vision Takes Four Delegates to the UK Film Finance Summit

In September, North West Vision’s newsletter invited companies and individuals to apply for one of four places at this year’s UK Film Finance Summit. Funded by RAF (North West Vision’s Regional Attraction Fund) the delegates will have full access to this year’s event, which takes place on Thursday 19th October at One Great George Street, London.

The event promises to consider how the private-equity boom and the new tax relief can restore investor confidence in UK filmmaking. Essential information will include:

· Looking beyond tax based funding at equity investment, and how the industry can make itself attractive to the investment community – how do we harness investor buy in?

· Clarity from the DCMS and HMRC on the UK’s new tax regime and what it means for the future of tax-credit based production funding.

· How the UK now ranks against its global competitors in the chase for runaway productions – especially now that every week sees another tax incentive for filmmaking in the US.

· An examination of Hedge Funds in the US and “all things Hollywood”. How to understand the new breed of investor and burgeoning financial opportunities.

· Insight from leading banks on who will cash flow the credits and how active they intend to be in the new marketplace.

· All forms of film financing fully explained, including raising equity, public funding, hedge funds and other equity sources.

· Unlocking the UK broadcasters’ commitment to film. Will the British television networks be injecting more into film production?
