A group of 25 independent production companies, distributors, sales agents and completion guarantors including A24, Amblin Partners and Endeavor Content have formed the American Coalition for Independent Content Production, which is calling on the government to provide support amid COVID-19.
This includes asking for liability protection for resuming production, assistance that will support business continuity when projects are suspended or abandoned, grants and long-term low interest loans, and relief through federal tax incentives. Coalition members include Alcon Entertainment, Annapurna Pictures, Avalon, Bron Studios, Endless Media, Endurance Media, Film Finances, FilmNation, Gaumont, Le Grisbi, Madrona Drive, Media Guarantors Insurance Solutions, Origin Entertainment, PictureStart, Platonic Systems, Skydance Media, UniFi Completion Guarantors, Village Roadshow Entertainment Group, wiip, XYZ Films, as well as Valence Media, which includes MRC and Dick Clark Productions.
Film Finances’ President Gregory Trattner added: "Production companies have been incredibly innovative and collaborative in establishing new protocols to safely produce film and television projects. However, despite these great efforts to provide a safe working environment, there are still several liability, financing and insurance issues hindering the resumption of production in any meaningful way.
