Netflix UK Heads Of Film & TV Talk Commissioning Strategy, Overall Talent Deals & Growth — Edinburgh
kicked off this morning with an anticipated spotlight session on Netflix UK, featuring Anne Mensah, Vice President for Original Series, and Fiona Lamptey, Director of UK Features.
Mensah discussed Netflix’s position in the UK landscape and whether it is right to view the company as a threat to the traditional business: “You need to be mindful of the perception of Netflix, for sure,” said Mensah. “It’s about collaboration, not competition. We do a lot of co-productions with the PSBs. The BBC is on a roll right now. I love their shows. Why wouldn’t we work with them? It’s about building a strong commissioning team in the UK that cares about the UK landscape.
Lamptey added: “I agree. We’re not doing a snatch and grab on talent. I haven’t aggressively pursued talent deals even though we have existing deals in place.”
