Closing the Gap: UK Revolutionizing Industry Skills 🤝

The UK Task Force, backed by big networks and streamers, is stepping in to bridge the gap between what the production industry needs and the skills available.

Led by Georgia Brown and with Netflix and the BBC on board, they're pushing for more training, job opportunities, and a solid plan to make it all sustainable.

They want to boost collaboration, build versatile skills, and revamp ScreenSkills to match industry demands.

With the industry facing pandemic hurdles and unpredictable needs, they're striving to stabilize quality while meeting global demands.

It's all about a proactive, long-term fix, making sure the workforce skills align with what the industry needs.

What's coming? 🤔

Teddy Schwarzman's Black Bear Journey 🐻

Teddy Schwarzman took Black Bear from a financing and production gig in 2011 to a full-fledged indie film hub.

Now it's got fingers in global sales, Canadian and UK theater releases, management services, and even TV ventures.

Their recent hits at festivals like "Dumb Money," "Nyad," and "Sing Sing" show how they're all about making, funding, and selling films worldwide.

Schwarzman’s journey from finance to indie flicks is like a testament to his commitment to great content, proven by hits like "The Imitation Game."

Black Bear's growth into distribution, sales, and talent management fits Schwarzman's vision of making gripping, character-driven content while nurturing talent and industry relationships.
