•    A production registered with us does not entitle the SPV or parent company to Pact Membership, so you would not have access to Member benefits, such as invitations to working groups, Pact events and discounted missions, nor access to the Pact Growth Accelerator and Member-only areas of the Pact website.

To access our services, the SPV will need to pay the Pact Production Levy, which is based on the production budget. Current rates can be found here.

Please note that the above rates became applicable on Friday 1st April 2022.  Prior to that Pact charged an Overseas Levy for overseas commissions shooting in the UK.

FAQ’s regarding the Pact Production Levy can be found here.

•    The production is a TV production by an overseas company for an overseas broadcaster/SVOD platform

We will usually be in touch about your registration within 48 hours from receipt of the production form. The time taken to complete registration will depend upon a number of factors, however to help expedite the registration process, as well as submitting a Production Form (using the link below), please also contact Annette Atanda (annette@pact.co.uk) with the following details:
 
For TV Registrations
•    the production budget, excluding COVID-19 costs
•    the name of the commissioning broadcaster/studio/SVOD
•    letter of financial guarantee –  this is a letter from the commissioning entity and is an Equity requirement. Pact can provide a template upon request.  Equity will not accept such letters from smaller, lesser known broadcasters/studios.  If this is the case, we will discuss alternative routes to registration with you.  
 
Pact cannot issue production specific cast Forms of Engagement until registration is complete.
