Adrian Wootton OBE, Chief Executive of the British Film Commision, comments on the tentative agreement between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP
Responding to the tentative agreement between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP, Adrian Wootton OBE, CEO of the British Film Commission, said:
“Today’s news will bring relief to cast, crews and the wider industry on both sides of the Atlantic. We’re thrilled that an equitable agreement on such a complex set of issues was achieved, and we look forward to productions in the U.K. restarting as soon as possible, assuming the final vote on Friday ratifies the deal. We also want to recognise that this has been an extremely challenging time for many in the UK production community, so this agreement provides a welcome end to a tough period.
“The U.K. has an incredibly strong relationship with the US, with many major productions based here and working with our stellar U.K. talent. We look forward to building on that, to provide jobs and opportunities for all levels in the UK film and TV sector.”
