Peacock Productions are an independent production company. George and I decided to become an independent company rather than a mainstream one because we thought it was more believable, due to the fact that we are students. As well as this, we won't be able to afford some of the technology, editing techniques and actors we would want to use in our film so classing ourselves as independent would be beneficial because then our film would be believable as an independent film. Lot's of good films have come from independent film companies, such as Submarine which was an influence for our genre and audience.
From research I know that independent films can be extremely successful if the concept is right and the techniques used to film are of a good standard. It was one of the UK Film Council's most successful independent films to date. However it didn't ensure the continuum of The UK Film Council and unfortunately since then it has been shut down.
The UK Film Council (UKFC) was a non-departmental public body set up in 2000 by the Labour Government to develop and promote the film industry in the UK. It was constituted as a private company limited by guarantee governed by a board of 15 directors and was funded through sources including the National Lottery. John Woodward was the Chief Executive Officer of the UKFC. As at 30 June 2008, the company had 90 full-time members of staff. It distributed more than £160m of lottery money to over 900 films. Lord Puttnam described the Council as "a layer of strategic glue that's helped bind the many parts of our disparate industry together."
