A producers' task is never without challenges. But the complexities are mounting in the face of local crew shortages, a global pandemic, and now a war in one of the commercial film industries most sought-after hubs.
Production Service Network has chosen Pippa Bhatt, a veteran voice of the London commercial film industry, to help guide producers and their projects to the most suitable places to film as well as the local shoot support they can trust to execute with diligence.
"The last two years have been the most tumultuous time," acknowledges Pippa. "The value of having a locally based, worldwide network of production expertise is a huge asset as producers have looked for answers to their many challenges - a producer's network is their A-Game. For the last three years Madam Films has been the UK country partner and having experienced the wealth of production talent within PSN throughout the world, the level of servicing, expertise and commitment to best in class, it's a pleasure to now be representing the network to the UK market."
PSN EP and managing director Michael Moffett adds how the new UK Production Liaison post dovetails with the Network's core objective. "Our Production Service Network is all about putting the local expertise of our vetted production service company Partners at the fingertips of producers. We deliver the ground truth that is critical for producers shooting abroad in these uncertain times. And we can now do it face to face with Pippa in London."
