2.2 The benefits of inward investment

Ben Roberts talks about the benefits to the whole industry of inward investment.

In addition to the BFI Film Fund, which Ben runs, there are two other very important public service organisations that provide much of the support to British independent film-making. They are BBC Films, the film arm of the BBC, and Film4, the film arm of Channel 4.

These organisations, like the BFI, have funding for development and production. You will be learning more about their activities later, but in the mean time you might want to take a look at their websites.
