Key responsibilities include: building and maintaining relationships with major US film studios, production companies, and industry decision-makers; identifying and developing new inward investment opportunities; providing market intelligence and industry insights to support UK trade objectives and foreign direct investment goals; and delivering production support services. The BFC has been selected for this direct award as the nationally recognised authority on attracting screen production investment to the UK, with unparalleled specialist expertise, established relationships across the US entertainment industry, and a proven track record of supporting productions responsible for approximately 93% of all UK inward investment in high-end television. This role supports the government's objectives to grow the UK screen industries and increase international production spend in the country.
