Booming U.K. Film, TV Industry Should Invest 1 Percent of Production Spend on Training to Address “Critical” Crew Shortage, Urges BFI

So warns the British Film Institute, which as part of a new Skills Review looking at scripted productions has urged for major internal investment in training to ensure that an additional 20,770 full-time employees are working in the sector to reach the level of demand expected by 2025., a new record and way ahead of already soaring pre-pandemic production levels. Research published last week by U.K. organization ScreenSkills forecasted that this figure would rise to £7.66 billion by 2025.
