In the foreword of the magazine, Sir Ridley Scott comments “Our world-class creative talent, our technical crews and craftspeople, plus our studios, post and VFX infrastructure give the UK the edge over global competitors”, summing up the booming UK production industry. ‘UK in Focus’ is available in print and online now, and will be distributed by Screen International and Broadcast at Cannes, Mipcom, MipTV, Media Summit, Media Production Showw, Toronto, AFM, Berlin, AFCI Locations Show and Hong Kong Filmart.
