. Virtually every global film and TV production of scale has been shut down. In the UK alone, all studio and independent movies are on hold and virtually every TV drama and major soap is on hiatus.: The situation is extremely complicated. The uncertainty is very difficult. The UK government has been quite disappointing because businesses have been in limbo. Until Friday night, pubs, bars and restaurants didn’t have clear directions, for example.
I try to find some positives. The likelihood is that the larger business we are in will bounce back. The difficulty is that we don’t know when that will be. If you are looking for optimism, you could say this will cement the position of the SVODs. But it will sadly put an exponential challenge on the theatrical business, assuming those cinemas can survive. But this applies to every business and every sector. If you follow the chains all the way up it goes to the banks which will be carrying hundreds of millions in debts and then it goes to the government. It could get a lot worse.
: Every single production we are working on is impacted. Personally, I’m working on six major film and TV projects. People can still write, which is important, and things can be developed. But anything that’s going near production is in trouble. We’ve had movies with only a few days left that have had to shut down. We had a project where the producers had to charter a plane to fly home the cast and crew from abroad. Anything that involves travel or bringing in talent is off.
If you’re an insolvency practitioner you could become very busy. The whole situation is confused by a lack of insurance.: We are a robust firm and we will do everything we can to preserve people’s jobs. Our workforce is our priority.
