AMPIA president Doug MacLeod recently collaborated with Damian Petti, president of
IATSE 212 to present a long-term Strategic Business Plan for the Alberta film industry to the Standing Policy Committee of Alberta Economic Development and Finance.
Key points included in the presentation were:
strengths including unique locations, experienced talent and production personnel, proximity to Los Angeles, and cost
weaknesses including general lack of awareness locally, nationally, and internationally, oversubscription of funds, and inability to undertake larger projects
threats including fewer licenses issued to Alberta producers, declining value of the American dollar, and decline in licensing by Canadian broadcasters
outcome of fostering growth includes synergies with tourism and new media sectors, increased capital investment, and economic stability
provide sufficient funding for development and training, including HD initiatives and
the proposal of a performance-based funding model that would support and continue the growth of Alberta's film and television industry.
