Everyone struggling to make their feature under £2M can get lost?

Level playing field please.

Not our fault some micro budget films are cobbled together for some egomaniac directors showreel or some trustafarian with rich parents cash to throw down a grid, skewering data sets in reports like this then flooding the markets with tat.

Some of us can make decent films under £2M and it's all on the screen. Can we have a 40% tax break too? It would have the effect of nurturing talent, taking chances on proper film makers allowing us bottom feeders who really care about our stories and craft to not have to hope and rely on getting through a small gate of public funding to close budgets and, you know, get on in life doing what we love.

Who knows? We might have a bigger and better industry with a future instead of being an aircraft carrier for incoming US blockbusters all the time instead of living with broken hopes, repeat and rinse.

Set us free too, please.
