Its really encouraging to read such wise words from the group of industry voices as featured above. The lottery funding, albeit a fraction of what is needed, has made the development and growth of film production in the West Midlands region possible. It would be so shortsighted of the new government not to understand the enormous importance films plays in the UK, both in cultural and economic terms. Lets hope they listen to the above voices, take advice from the industry experts and find a smart way forwards.
