The proposal to establish a Film Agency is supported and has received funding from the partner local authorities via The Solent Growth Partnership and The Partnership for South Hampshire (PfSH). The contract to run the agency is being let by Portsmouth City Council, on behalf of the funding partners. It covers an initial 3-year period, during which we expect the agency to become successful and self-sustaining. At the end of the 3-year period the agency will be expected to negotiate renewal arrangements with partner authorities. Seed funding of £60,000 will be made available to support the setting up of the agency. Activities to be covered by this funding include:- • Time taken in securing the sign up of individual local authorities to the MOU • Scouting and mapping of locations in the area • The setting up of a Film Agency website • Initial marketing of the agency. (It is envisaged that, once established, the agency will generate sufficient income to cover on going routine marketing activity. A programme and milestone package will be agreed and the draw down from the budget will be on completion of each milestone activity.
