Comms Council launches unit for production companies
The Communications Council has launched the new member-based organisation, The Commercial Producers Council, representing the interests of production companies.
Member agencies will have access to legislative and regulatory advice, training programs, production agreement templates, member and pricing on specialist insurance for areas of production and film.
CEO of the Communications Council Daniel Leesong said several individuals from production companies, who were members of the Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association (AWARD), had approached the council to better service at a company level.
“Our aim in setting up the Council is to create a better business environment for production companies to thrive in while meeting those specific problems they get confronted with in their line of business,” he said.
