Press Release

Read the full statement from Directors UK CEO Andy Harrower in response to the Culture, Media & Sport Committee’s ‘British film and high-end television’ report

“Today’s report on British film and high-end television highlights the challenges facing the industry and the urgent need for action. In a global market, a strong UK production sector is crucial, but our public service broadcasters and independent filmmakers are under increasing pressure. Directors UK has long called for support, including better production funding, investment in skills, and improved freelancer rights. We're encouraged to see our recommendations reflected in the report — it’s now imperative that they are implemented by the government.”
