Scottish Screen has just published the findings of an industry survey which was carried out in 2000 and the report is now available.

The survey looked at skills shortages within the freelance/staff producer sector and the business/development needs of the independent production companies in Scotland.

Over 62% of companies and 39% of individual producers responded to the survey.

Scottish Screen will be delivering a number of training and development initiatives over the next two years to address the issues arising from the report.

Copies of the report have been posted out to companies and agencies, but copies are also available from Scottish Screen’s information office.
