TÉ PAPA FILMS EARNS UKTI EXPORT GRANT
LONDON– In the months leading up to MIP-com, the media sales Market held in Cannes every October, New UK Indie production house Té Papa Films was made a member of PACT – the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television. The application was sponsored by industry stalwart Portman Film and Television. As a member of the UK’s principal industry association, Té Papa Films was entitled to apply to the UK’s Trade and Industry department for export assistance. The grant’s criteria is simple – their debut feature film All Bar Love had to have the potential to sell overseas and PACT, acting as the industry administrator, had to believe that the film was a commercial proposition.
The application process was more than a simply filling in a form. PACT and the UKTI required the Producers Aubs Tredget and James Derbyshire to submit copies of the film and supporting marketing material to demonstrate that All Bar Love was of sufficient quality to warrant participation in the Mip-com trade delegation, and therefore qualify for the export subsidy.
After due process All Bar Love was deemed eligible for the grant, which was used to cover costs associated with film’s presence on the PACT UK Indies stand. The sales promotional video was specially adapted to play on the PACT Digital Video System, enabling it to be viewed on demand at any one of the 12 DVS booths around the stand, as well as rotating on the stand’s central plasma screening with content from other producers. All Bar Love flyers were also prominently displayed on two dedicated literature racks and the film was given a ¼ page, full colour listing in the PACT Indies catalogue.
