Mosaic Films selected for the NESTA/UK Film Council Digital Innovation in Film Programme

Mosaic Films has been named as one of the 12 independent film businesses who will participate in the Digital Innovation in Film programme run by NESTA and the UK Film Council. The programme, which is jointly run by the two organisations in conjunction with national and regional screen agencies, is designed to help small independent British film companies to embrace new business growth opportunities through digital distribution.

The companies were selected from 50 entries and represent creative businesses at different stages incorporating film production, distribution and sales. For the next 18 months they will be teamed up with specialist partners who will help them to develop the content, marketing and digital distribution potential of their films to audiences around the world in new ways. Each organisation will have a specially tailored programme which will include financial/business planning support, identifying and delivering opportunities for new forms of distribution, with the goal of improving the film business's potential for growth and investment.

Commenting on the announcement, John Woodward, Chief Executive Officer of the UK Film Council says "The digital world is already having a huge impact on the film industry and we will either adapt or fall by the wayside. This initiative is important because it helps to equip a diverse range of different film businesses to succeed on the new frontier."

MD of Mosaic Films, Andy Glynne, said: "We're tremendously excited by the opportunities offered by the emerging digital markets towards the creation of new models in the production and distribution of documentary film. We're also really looking forward to working with NESTA, the UK Film Council, the innovation partners and the other film businesses involved in this groundbreaking programme."
