Last week the indie owners of our one-off development initiative, Future30 got together for the first time. It was an opportunity to get to know each other and set intentions for their time on the scheme.

New friendships were forged over the course of the day, which was moderated by Pact's Managing Director of Business Development & Global Strategy, Dawn McCarthy-Simpson MBE.

Future30 is part of Pact's 30th Anniversary activities taking place from 4th July 2021 to July 2022. The 30 new and emerging indies taking part in the scheme were selected by a panel of industry judges from hundreds of applications and were identified as having the potential to be future game changers of the film and TV industry.

The benefits of the scheme include two years’ free Pact membership and a supercharged, tailored development programme giving participants access to industry experts to help them to develop and grow their businesses.
