production boom, while good news for crews (and audiences), has not necessarily proved a boon for independent filmmakers.Largely generated by the streamer wars, film and high-end television production spend in the U.K. hit $7.6 billion in 2021.
A closer look at the figures, however, revealed that the majority of that spend was on high-end TV production, which had nearly doubled compared to 2019, while expenditure on film grew only by 3%.Worse, the boom has created a scarcity of resources, from crew and soundstages to generators and actors (one agent even told Variety productions were struggling to find Winnebagos to accommodate their clients on set).
