Today we announce the establishment of a new Directors and Producers Forum, which Pact is a part of alongside Directors UK, BBC Studios and ITV Studios.
The Forum will meet first on 13th December 2023 and at least bi-annually thereafter. It will comprise senior representatives and members of Directors UK and representatives of the producers. It will discuss matters raised by forum members as well as afford an opportunity for producers to brief on proposed industry developments, production matters and the status of sector initiatives such as diversity and inclusion, environmentally sustainable production and skills training.
UK production faces a number of challenges at present with high inflation; increased costs of production; and changes in the consumption of programmes by audiences. Liaison between producers and directors will allow a collaborative approach to dealing with such challenges and will provide more transparency over the way producers and directors seek to continue making innovative, entertaining and artistic content.
The new forum replaces previous less structured liaison between directors and producers.
