As you may know, your Regional Screen Agency (RSA) is changing, and we want to make sure you are kept informed.
Following the announcement of the abolition of the UK Film Council, the RSA's have been working with DCMS to decide on the best structure of continued support for the film and media industry outside of London, and to secure a strong future for the UK's creative industries.
Ed Vaizey announced that the BFI will become the lead strategic body on film and the distributor of Lottery funds to UK filmmakers from April 2011, and that Film London will manage the UK's national inward investment function for film. The Minister also announced that the English RSA's outside London will transform their network into Creative England , "a simpler, more efficient structure with an expanded remit to support the creative industries across England."
Creative England will be a new nationwide network to support the content industries of Film, Television, Games, and Digital and Creative Services. It will be based on three key hubs; Creative North, Creative Central and Creative South.

Vision+Media and the other RSA's outside of London are now working together to reform into the new Creative England network, working with the BFI to develop a Film Strategy and developing the wider Creative England business plan with Government and industry.
As a Vision+Media contact, we need you to opt in to our new database so that we can keep you informed of Creative England developments and news.
In the meantime, it will be 'business as usual' for the RSA's.
