Authorities in the UK have devised a plan to bring film and TV crews back to the sets The British film and TV industry has an enviable reputation in the world, and it is vital that productions get the help they need to restart, Rishi Sunak said. the leading man of the new British fund. A £ 500 million insurance fund was set up to help the British film and TV industry rise after the coronavirus pandemic. Culture Minister Oliver Dauden announced this week that through a new plan he would help take on the role of commercial creditor, offering production to productions that have suffered losses due to kovida 19. Film and TV production suffered a severe blow earlier this year due to the introduction of quarantine. Production of some movies and popular TV series such as “Peaky Blinders”, “The Witcher” and “Line Of Duty” has been stopped. Authorities in Britain have started to give in to precautionary measures, but that does not mean that production will automatically start working. Productions of numerous films and series are struggling unsuccessfully to restart because insurance companies will not provide them with coverage due to the pandemic. "Production insurance is a basic part of making TV shows and movies, but there is no insurance for potential coronavirus losses," John McVay, executive director of the Film and Television Producers' Association (PACT), told the Guardian. Some shows have restarted production, but with certain measures, such as “Coronation Street” where a strict physical distance between the actors is noticeable. "If you want to do something with ambitions that the UK is known for, you can't even think about it if you don't have insurance," McVeigh added. Sunak, who is at the head of the new fund of 500 million pounds, stated that it is vital for the productions to get the help they need to restart their work, which would again start the process of hiring people from that branch. "This targeted plan will help bridge the gap created by the lack of available insurance and protect tens of thousands of jobs. That sector is worth over 12 billion euros, so the right thing to do is to do everything we can to help people get back to making the movies and series we all love, ”Sunak said.
